@heykarabae: Homemade yogurt is super easy to make and tastes 100x better in my opinion! All you need is some leftover yogurt and milk!! I used one gallon of whole milk And about 4 tablespoons of yogurt Waiting for the milk to heat up is the worst of it because you do have to babysit it so it doesn’t burn. Mine took about 45 mins over a medium heat. Once it foams and starts to bubble slightly without boiling, it’s good to go! If you get impatient like I did just turn the heat up a little bit but make sure you stay on top of it. You can remove that film that forms while the milk is cooling. My mom likes to eat it so I took it off. Removing it also allows the yogurt to be nice and smooth. I let the milk cool down until I can keep my finger in there for at least 6-7 seconds because you don’t want it to be so hot that it kills the yogurt forming cuties in our old yogurt. Add a couple of tablespoons of yogurt to the bowl you will be transferring the milk into and coat the inside of the bowl (I used two bowls) Pour the milk and cover with some towels and keep it in your oven (that’s off) for a few hours. I just left it overnight. The next day it should be ready to go!! I used my second smaller batch of yogurt to make labneh! I salted it generously and then allowed it to strain through the cheese cloth for three days. Make sure you empty the water after a couple of hours initially but after the first day there shouldn’t be too much. I formed them into balls and rolled them in seasoning! Sesame seeds and a sumac, cumin, and hot pepper mixture. Stored in olive oil (yes we reuse the oil) and I can’t wait to enjoy it tonight!!
