How to Make Powdered Milk Yogurt

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F) with 1 cup powdered milk. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat to 180°F (82°C), stirring frequently. The milk will begin to rise and small bubbles will form on the sides of the pan. Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and pour the scalded milk into a clean pitcher. Allow to cool to 110°F (43°C).
  4. While the milk cools, remove your yogurt starter (1/4 cup) from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to prevent shocking the culture.
  5. Once the milk reaches 110°F (43°C), stir in the yogurt starter, ensuring it's fully incorporated.
  6. Pour the mixture into a clean quart canning jar. Cover tightly with the lid.
  7. Wrap the jar in a towel or blanket and place it inside a styrofoam cooler or hay box.
  8. Ensure the jar is snug and well-insulated to maintain consistent warmth.
  9. Let the yogurt incubate in the box for 9 hours. (Incubation time may vary slightly based on ambient temperature.)
  10. After 9 hours, remove the jar from the hay box and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 3 weeks.
  11. Reserve ¼ cup of the finished yogurt for your next batch as a starter. This eliminates the need to buy store-bought yogurt repeatedly.
  12. To use a fresh starter, you'll get a slightly different taste profile with each new batch. You can buy a large container of yogurt and freeze the extra portions in ice cube trays for future use.
