Fermenting …. Cow Milk Yoghurt

I love making my own plain yoghurt. It doesn’t have any fillers, additives or thickeners. It’s inexpensive and it’s pretty easy. You don’t need a yoghurt maker, but I found one at the thrift shop for very little investment and have the room to store it. It makes the yoghurt in cute little glass, reusable jars.

Ingredients

• 4 cups cow milk (I’ve tried this with skim milk, raw milk, whole, milk – all worked fine)
• 1 T live culture yoghurt

Instructions

• Heat the milk to 180° F
• Cool to about 110° F
• Dissolve the yoghurt culture into about 1/4 c of the warm milk
• Add the dissolved culture back into the warm milk
• Ferment 6-8 hours in a yoghurt maker (108 – 112° F)
• Refrigerate
