Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 Gallon Whole Milk (we use fresh, raw milk)
  • 1/2 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt (must contain live cultures)

Instructions
 

  • Pour 1/2 gallon of milk into the Instant Pot.
  • Add 1/2 cup of Plain Greek Yogurt to the milk in the Instant Pot, whisk to combine.
  • Press the Yogurt setting on the Instant Pot and set the timer for 20 hours.
  • When the timer goes off, transfer the yogurt to a large jar and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
  • After the yogurt has cooled, you will see some of the whey rise to the top. Ladle this off and place in another jar for other uses.
  • Place the cheesecloth bag in a large bowl and dump the yogurt into the cheesecloth bag.
  • Hold the cheesecloth bag above the bowl and allow the whey to drip into the large bowl. The whey can be transferred to jar for other uses.
  • Transfer the yogurt from the cheesecloth bag into a clean 1/2 gallon mason jar and store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The store bought yogurt must contain live cultures 
  • Multiple varieties of milk will work, we prefer raw milk with the cream mixed in
