Notes

  • Use Ultra Pasteurized Milk. Tried and tested with Costco Kirkland organic whole milk
  • Make sure the culture that you use is not sour; otherwise it will make the yogurt sour too
  • Use live cultures or fresh yogurt preferably from the last batch however you can use Chobani , Fage, Oui, or Greek yogurt for the first time.
  • You can use pot in pot method to make yogurt in glass bowls.
  • Do not use raw or regular milk, as it contains bacteria and it needs to be boiled first.
  • Use fresh yogurt starter(it should contain live active cultures)
  • You can use 2%Ultra pasteurized milk too ( yogurt sets well)
