    PSA: Making your own yogurt is real easy. Literally pour milk in a pan, boil it, let it cool down. When the temperature is low enough for you to keep your finger in the milk for 10 seconds, just put in three spoonfuls of whatever your favorite yogurt is. Put that pot inside your oven, with the pilot light on. And check back in 6 to 10 hours. The longer you leave it the the Tangier it gets. And that’s it.

    You can now make yogurt. A simple upgrade is to get a cooking thermometer so you don’t have to use your finger. You’re looking for the milk to be around 42c when you put in the yogurt “seed”.

      or you could take a spoon, scoop a small amount, and taste-test it if it has cooled down. no finger required.
