.yogurty yogurt.

Today I made yogurt.  If you have never tasted homemade yogurt you are seriously missing out.  It is so easy to make and tastes worlds better than any type of yogurt you can buy.

Basically the recipe goes like this.

1. Get a gallon of milk, any kind you want except for nonfat because we've found that it doesn't work as well.
2. Heat it up until it reaches a near boil or about 180 degrees.
3. Take the milk off the heat and let it cool until it reaches 120 degrees.
4. Add about two tablespoons of store-bought yogurt.  It doesn't really matter what kind you use as long as it has live cultures.
5. Let is sit for at least four hours.  It is important to keep it warm so either wrap it in a couple of towels to retain the heat or leave it in an oven that is turned off (this is what we do)
6. At this point the yogurt is done.  You can leave it like this if you like a thinner type of yogurt or you can filter out the whey using cheese cloth to make a thicker greek-like consistency
