Ingredients

- 6 cups (1.5 litres) 3.25% whole milk (see note)
- 1 packet (3 g) powdered yogurt starter (see note)

Preparation

- In a pot over medium heat, warm the milk until just simmering, stirring a few times. Let sit at room temperature until the milk cools to 104°F (40°C), about 1 hour (see note).
- Stir the yogurt starter into the milk. Pour the mixture into the container of a yogurt maker. Cover. Set the temperature to 108°F (42°C) and the fermentation time to 8 hours.
- Refrigerate the yogurt for 4 hours or until completely chilled. The yogurt will keep for 2 weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Note from Ricardo

Milk other than whole milk can be used. Depending on the milk used, consistency and fermentation time may vary.

The packet of powdered yogurt starter can be replaced with ¼ cup (60 ml) very fresh cultured plain yogurt.

To help the milk cool down faster, heat only half of it (3 cups/750 ml). Remove from the heat, then add the remaining milk. The milk will cool to the desired temperature faster, in about 25 minutes.
