Making your own yogurt is easier than you think! This recipe calls for just a few basic ingredients and will give you a creamy and delicious yogurt that’s healthier and more affordable than store-bought options. Follow this step-by-step guide to making fresh yogurt at home.

Ingredients

1 litre of fresh milk (whole or semi-skimmed)
2 tablespoons plain yogurt (with live cultures)
2 tablespoons powdered milk (optional, for a creamier texture)
2 tablespoons sugar (optional, for a slightly sweet taste)

Step-by-step preparation

1. Heat the milk

Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat it over medium heat. Stir occasionally to avoid burning. Once the milk reaches about 85°C (185°F), remove it from the heat. This step helps kill unwanted bacteria and improves the texture of the yogurt.
