yougurt

1 quart of milk(liter)
1 packet starter culture
thermometer

Mix the 5 gram yogurt starter with some heated milk(just lukewarm not hot)
I get my starter from the health food store it comes in 5 g packets and treats a quart(liter) of milk

bring 1 quart of milk to 180 . If you don't have a cheese thermometer bring the milk to a scald(when it rises up) then take off the heat and let it cool down about 20 minutes before mixing in the starter,(that's been mixed with a little warm milk)
Pour in the jar with starter and put a double layer of cheesecloth on top. leave on counter about 4 hours.


I use a pickle jar to put mine in. Its 32 ounces and can be recycled,also a lid to keep out flies.
