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.
Follow the ratio of 1 tbsp starter : 1 cup raw milk, up to 8 cups per container.
