Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pour your milk into a large stockpot.  Add 3 cups of powdered milk.
  • Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently.  Heat up to 180 degrees F.  Measure using a food thermometer.
  • Once it has reached 180 degrees F, turn the heat off and cool to 120 degrees F.
  • Measure your Greek Yogurt in a separate bowl and add some of your heated liquid into the bowl.  Continue to add liquid until the cold yogurt is heated to room temperature.
  • Add the mixture to your stockpot.  Stir until well combined with a whisk.  Then pour into your containers.  Put the lids on the containers.
  • Place on a tray in an unheated oven.  Put a towel over your containers and turn the light in the oven on.
  • Leave the yogurt in the oven for 4-8 hours.  The longer you leave it, the more tart it will get.  I left mine in the oven for about 5 hours.
  • Store in the refrigerator.  It will stay good for about 2 weeks.
