Ingredients
  

  • 1 l full fat milk
  • 3 tablespoon yogurt

Instructions
 

  • In a stainless steel pot, bring the milk to boiling point. Reduce the heat and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  • Remove the milk from the stove and bring the temperature down to 45° degrees. If you do not have a thermometer probe, insert your finger in the milk, it should be just warm to the touch.
  • In a bowl, mix one ladle of warm milk with 3 tablespoon yogurt. Pour back the mixture into the pot of milk. Mix carefully.
  • Cover the pot with a lid and place in a warm spot. Inside an oven works best or you can also wrap the pot in an old blanket or towels to keep the milk warm as it sets. Leave for at least 4 hours and check if the yoghurt has set. Place the yogurt in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving it.
  • If the yogurt is too thin, strain in a cheese cloth. Don't throw the whey as this can be used for another recipe.
