Ingredients

Instructions

  • Measure 4 cups of raw milk into a glass or plastic container.
    4 cups raw milk
  • Add 4 tablespoons of mother culture and mix well.
    4 tablespoons yogurt mother culture
  • Cover with a towel or cheesecloth, secure with a rubber band.
  • Set on the counter in a warm spot about 70-77 °F(20-25°C), out of direct sunlight.
  • Culture for 12-18 hours. Check by gently tilting the jar. If the yogurt separates from the side of the jar with a clean break, it is done. If it is still very liquid and pours up the side like milk, return it to the counter and check again later.
  • Once set, refrigerate for at least 6 hours before eating.
