Homemade Yogurt!

Ingredients

• 1 gallon raw cow's milk
• 1 cup yogurt

Instructions

1. 1
   Heat the milk to 180 degrees F, stirring often.
2. 2
   Let it cool on the countertop for one hour. Skim off the top, and let it continue to cool until it is around 113 to 115 degrees F.
3. 3
   Stir or whisk in the 1 cup of yogurt. If I don't already have a "starter yogurt" I like to use Plain Chobani Greek, from the store.
4. 4
   Put the lid on, and let it sit in the oven undisturbed for 6 to 10 hours. Note: The sealed oven helps keep the temperature consistent throughout this ripening process. No need to turn the oven light on, or anything.
5. 5
   After 6 to 10 hours, you will have yogurt! Strain it through cheesecloth if you'd like it thicker, like Greek-style. Otherwise, it is ready to go. Refrigerate and enjoy for up to one week, you can also freeze some for smoothies.

   Note: The recipe can easily be scaled down in size, if need be (:
