There are various methods for making yogurt but the method shared in this post is one of the simplest.

Ingredients needed

• Whole Milk
• 2 tablespoons of pure yogurt (the yogurt must not have any sugar or additives in it)

Method

Please ensure that you use a heavy bottom pot for this process because a heavy bottom pot absorbs the head easily, so it is a better alternative than any other type of pot.

• Pour the whole milk into a heavy bottom pot
• Place the heavy bottom pot on a stove or burner and leave it to cook on medium to high heat until it’s almost reaching its boiling point
• Stir the milk at intervals
• Once the milk comes to a temperature of about 190 -200 degrees Fahrenheit, or when you see bubbles forming around the edges of the pot, then it’s time to take it off the heat.
• Leave the yogurt to cool down until it’s warm to the touch. Please stir at intervals while waiting so it doesn’t develop a film at the top because the film takes some of the fat away and you don’t want that.
• Add two tablespoons of pure yogurt to the warm milk and stir until the yogurt dissolves into the milk.
• Cover the pot with a firm lid and place the pot of milk in a warm place.
• Leave the pot for 6 – 12 hours or overnight till the yogurt is thick and tangy. The longer you leave the yogurt, the thicker and tangier it becomes.
• After the yogurt has thickened, transfer it to the fridge to chill for 2 -3 hours.

Your rich, thick and creamy homemade yogurt is ready.
