Do you buy yogurt? Do you look for brands that are low fat, low sugar, no fillers, no preservatives? Do you pay extra for organic?

Well, you can stop.

Making yogurt is easy. Easy peasy. Easier than making babies ... well, easier than delivering them.

You probably have the supplies, and ingredients on hand.

Here's what you'll need :

• 4 cups homo milk
• 2 Tbsp fresh, full fat, plain, yogurt (with live bacteria culture)
• Thermometer and whisk
• Clean glass containers with lids (ie. 5, 250ml canning jars)
• Large pot with lid (ie stockpot)
• Towel, tea towel, dishclothes (to fit inside and insulate jars).

Heat the milk to 180-185F (this kills the bad bacteria).
Cool the milk to 110-115F.
Whisk in the yogurt (this adds back in the good bacteria) until blended.



Pour the liquid into 4 clean canning jars and place lids on jars.



Pour very hot tap water into the 5th canning jar.
Place towel on bottom of pot and position up the sides.
Place jars on top of towel with jar of hot water in the middle of yogurt jars. Place another towel on top or between jars, and add pot lid.





Let sit for 7-9 hours.




You know have fresh, home made yogurt, just remove from the pot and refrigerate... or add maple syrup, vanilla, fruit for a delicious treat!

You can now use yogurt from this batch to make your next batch, and more batches, and so on.
