Homemade Yogurt!

Does your family love yogurt as much as mine? Is it hard to keep stocked up on it? It is around here! Seems like we are always running out. So, in an effort to learn how to make more things from scratch and to help my family stay stocked up on their yummy yogurt, I decided to start making it here at home.

Items you will need:

• 1 Crockpot
• 1/2 C of a good yogurt. I use Mountain High because it contains five types of active live cultures.
• 2-quarts (64 oz/8C) pasteurized milk — I used powdered milk. So, I used 2 quarts of water, and 3C instant powdered milk. If you are using a non-instant powdered milk you will need, 1 1/2C powdered milk and 2 quarts water.
• If you want your yogurt thicker, add an additional 2 2/3C instant powdered milk or 1 1/3 C non-instant powdered milk.
• Blender or a hand blender if you are using powdered milk.

Once you get your milk poured in, leave the crockpot on "low" for 2 1/2 hours.

Unplug and let the crockpot sit for 3 1/2 hours.

You will wrap up the crockpot and let it sit for 6 1/2 - 8 1/2 hours. Until it is at the desired thickness. If you want it a bit thicker, you can strain it with a cheese cloth and it will make a more Greek style yogurt.

That's it. It is very easy and you are easily do it and walk away without having to worry about it. I'm curious to hear how it goes for you guys!
