Mix the milk and cold water until all lumps are gone. Now put into a pot and you want to get it hot but not boiling stirring the whole time and since I don’t have a thermometer I do my clean finger test. When it gets hot enough that when a clean finger is inserted into the milk you won’t be able to keep it in for 1 second. It’s ready.

Take pot off the heat and continue to stir to help it cool off quicker. Get the yogurt starter and when the milk is cooled off enough that you can keep your finger in the milk for 10 seconds add some of the milk to the yogurt starter.

Stir it up but not mix. It’s ok to have some lumps. Now add the started to the pot of milk and and gently stir just to break up some of the lumps. Pour the mixture into a clean container with a lid.

I used a very large beach towel and wrapped it around the container which went around about 3 times. Be sure the container stays upright. If you don’t have a beach towel no problem just wrap 3-4 towels around. Put your towel wrapped container into a plastic bag and tie it shut. Leave over night 13-14 hours in a room temp or warm place. Just not cold.

Next day viola 🥳 it’s yogurt now we will stir it and add whatever sweetener or fruit you like. I added sugar and whipping cream powder. Now refrigerate until it’s cold. I like my yogurt thick and creamy and is why I added the whipping cream powder.

Enjoy the yogurt you have just so easily made it yourself without any fancy equipment 😀 have a great day !
