Home Made Yogurt

Sister Wadsworth taught me how to make my own yogurt. It is very simple. It is made with powdered milk. They have pretty good stuff here. Here is what you do: Mix in a medium saucepan:
1 and 1/2 cups dry skim powdered milk (you can use whole milk)
1/4 cup dry whole powdered milk
3 cups water
Heat it until it is almost boiling (you can see heat waves coming up and some steam). Hold it at that temperature for 2 minutes. Take off heat and let it cool until it is the temperature for a baby's bottle.
Then mix in 1/4 cup of plain yogurt (needs to be a live culture) and then pour into a quart size thermos bottle. This one is all plastic inside with a wide top. Put on the thermos lids and let it sit on kitchen counter overnight about 8 hours. You can use the yogurt for the next start only 2 or 3 times, and then you should start with fresh yogurt start.
