How to Make Yogurt Homemade From Good Eats Alton Brown

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk to 180-185°F (82-85°C) using a candy thermometer. Stir frequently to prevent scorching.
  2. Remove from heat and cool to 110-115°F (43-46°C). This is crucial for successful yogurt culturing.
  3. Stir in the yogurt starter. Ensure it's thoroughly combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into a clean, preferably glass, jar or container. Seal the lid tightly.
  5. Wrap the container in a towel for insulation and place it in a warm area (yogurt maker, oven with light on, or a warm spot in your kitchen) for 6-8 hours, or until thickened. The longer it sits the tangier it will become.
  6. Once thickened, refrigerate for at least 4 hours to further set and cool. Taste and adjust sweetness with honey to preference.
  7. Enjoy your homemade yogurt! Top with your favorite fruit, granola, or nuts.
