3. Cool and Add the Starter: Let the milk cool to a lukewarm temperature. It should be warm enough that you can comfortably keep your finger in it for a few seconds. Then, stir in the 2 tablespoons of yogurt. This is your starter, filled with the good bacteria needed to transform your milk into yogurt.
4. The Waiting Game: Pour the mixture into a container or individual jars. Cover them with a lid or a clean cloth. Now, the key is to keep your soon-to-be-yogurt undisturbed in a warm place. This could be in an oven with the light on, wrapped in towels, or in any space that maintains a gentle, consistent warmth.
5. Discover the Magic: After about 8-12 hours, uncover your creation. What awaits is the thick, creamy, stone-like yogurt you’ve been dreaming of.
