REdiculously easy. I had an unopened half gallon of whole milk that was a few days bast the date, and I wasn't going to drink it in time. Grok told me I could make homemade yogurt. All I needed was a few spoonfulls of existing yogurt as a starter. Heat milk in a saucepan to almost boiling, about 180o . This kills any existing backeria. Remove from heat Wait until it cools to about 110o , or cool enough to dip your pinky in and not get burned. Milk is now safe to add live bacteria culture. Add two spoonfulls of existing yogurt for the bacteria culture, mix thoroughly. Place in oven for 6-12 hours to grow the culture, must be kept warm at about 110o . I turned on the light as a heat source, and turned the oven on for a minute halfway through to warm it up. I used a remote digital thermometer in the mix to keep track and left it in for 10 hours. when finished, there will be a thin, watery layer and then a thicker layer. the watery stuff is the whey. You can drain that off or strain it off for a more condensed "greek" yogurt, but I mixed it back in. Stored it in pint jars in the refrigerator overnight. It's superb Youtube short for results: [url=https://youtube.com/shorts/-_sXVv1lEuo]  Yogurt Result |
Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.
General education should not be mere job training, but training in how to be fully human.

You can make "greek" yogurt if you drain the excess whey and moisture out with a strainer and cheesecloth. |
