Homemade Yogurt!

<p>So nutritious and delicious, and unbelievably easy!</p>Source: our farm manager (Entered by Christie Roberson)
Serves: 3 quarts ish
Ingredients
1 gallon
raw cow's milk
1 cup
yogurt
Step by Step Instructions
- Heat the milk to 180 degrees F, stirring often.
- Let it cool on the countertop for one hour. Skim off the top, and let it continue to cool until it is around 113 to 115 degrees F.
- Stir or whisk in the 1 cup of yogurt. If I don't already have a "starter yogurt" I like to use Plain Chobani Greek, from the store.
- Put the lid on, and let it sit in the oven undisturbed for 6 to 10 hours. Note: The sealed oven helps keep the temperature consistent throughout this ripening process. No need to turn the oven light on, or anything.
- After 6 to 10 hours, you will have yogurt! Strain it through cheesecloth if you'd like it thicker, like Greek-style. Otherwise, it is ready to go. Refrigerate and enjoy for up to one week, you can also freeze some for smoothies.
- Note: The recipe can easily be scaled down in size, if need be (:
