Homemade Yogurt

From JCasa

Ingredients
8 cups milk
1 cup plain yogurt

Directions
Bring milk to a simmer on medium-high. There will be a skin on top. Remove the pot from the heat and let cool until it's bearable to hold your finger in it.

Pour the milk into a bowl that has a lid. Stir (don't whisk) the yogurt into the milk.

Put the lid on the bowl and wrap the bowl in towels.

Leave it on the counter for 8 hours. After 8 hours check to see if it has gelled. Put some cheesecloth or paper towel on the surface to absorb the whey and put it in the fridge. Replace the cheesecloth when it can't absorb any more liquid.

Notes:
The longer you leave it on the counter the more tangy the yogurt will be. 8 hours was perfect for just a slight tang.

The more you change the paper towel the thicker the yogurt will get.

Save 1 cup of the yogurt for a starter for your next batch.
