Ingredients:

Serving

8 cups milk (1/2 gallon- preferably at least 1%)
1 1/2 cups non-fat powdered milk (1 for 2% or fattier, 1 1/2 for 1%)
1 cup yogurt starter , preferably greek ( is yogurt with active cultures , either from a previous yogurt session or store-bought)

Directions:

Equipment: Large pot, Whisk or stirring utensil, Thick towel, Heating pad, 9- 1 cup (8oz) containers, Ladle, instant read thermometer (or reg Therm if you don't have instant).
In large pot, heat milk over medium-high to high heat. When it is starting to get pretty warm, watch carefully. Bring just to a boil (milk boils over QUICKLY), then remove from heat.
Let cool to about 115 degrees F (optimum yogurt working temperature is between 108 and 112 deg F). The cooling usually takes about 45 min-1 hr at my house (usually between 65 and 75 deg F).
Whisk in yogurt starter.
Ladle into 1 cup containers.
Place containers on heating pad, set at high heat (for my heating pad).
Cover containers with thick towel.
Let sit on heating pad for 6-8 hrs or until thick. You can leave it longer to thicken more if desired, but it might become a little more bitter.
Refrigerate about 8 hours.
When serving, add fixings if desired (e.g. jam, dried fruit, granola, honey) or eat it plain.
Set aside 1 cup container of yogurt for next batch of yogurt.
