Assorted Yogurts Recipe

Yogurt Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Milk

   In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it reaches about 180°F (82°C). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

2. 2

   Cool the Milk

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let the milk cool down to about 110°F (43°C). You can use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature.

3. 3

   Add Starter Yogurt

   Once the milk has cooled, whisk in the plain yogurt and sugar (if using) until fully combined. If using, also add the vanilla extract.

4. 4

   Incubate the Yogurt

   Pour the mixture into a clean container and cover it with a lid or a cloth. Place it in a warm area (like an oven with the light on or a yogurt maker) for about 6-12 hours until it thickens. The longer it sits, the tangier it will become.

5. 5

   Refrigerate

   Once the yogurt has set to your liking, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

6. 6

   Flavor and Serve

   After chilling, you can flavor your yogurt with fruits, honey, granola, or any variety of toppings. Serve in bowls or jars.
