Do you love yogurt but find yourself without any in your fridge? Don’t worry! With just a few simple ingredients and some patience, you can make homemade yogurt without yogurt. Yes, that’s right – you don’t need yogurt to make yogurt! In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of making delicious homemade yogurt from scratch.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

  • 1 quart of milk
  • 2 tablespoons of plain store-bought yogurt (with live cultures)
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional)

Step 1: Heat the Milk

Start by pouring the milk into a saucepan and heating it over medium heat. Stir the milk occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Heat the milk until it reaches a temperature of around 180°F (82°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accuracy.

Step 2: Cool the Milk

Once the milk has reached the desired temperature, remove it from the heat source and let it cool down to around 110°F (43°C). Cooling the milk properly is crucial to ensure the survival of the beneficial bacteria that will ferment your yogurt.

Step 3: Add the Yogurt Starter

In a small bowl, mix the store-bought yogurt with a bit of the warm milk. Stir well to combine. Then, pour this mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the warm milk and stir gently.

Step 4: Incubate the Yogurt

Transfer the milk and yogurt mixture into a clean glass jar or several individual containers. Secure the lids tightly. Now, you need to keep the yogurt incubated at a consistent warm temperature for the next 6 to 12 hours. You can use a yogurt maker, a slow cooker, a thermos, or even your oven to create the right environment. The temperature should be maintained around 110°F (43°C). The longer you incubate, the tangier and thicker your yogurt will become.

Step 5: Refrigerate and Enjoy

After the incubation period, remove the yogurt from the warm environment and refrigerate it for at least 3 hours to halt the fermentation process. Once chilled, your homemade yogurt is ready to be enjoyed. You can serve it as is or add your favorite fruits, nuts, or honey for added flavor.

Making homemade yogurt without yogurt may sound a bit strange, but it’s a simple and rewarding process. Try out this step-by-step guide, and you’ll have tasty, homemade yogurt at your fingertips whenever you want. Enjoy!
