Description
A simple and rewarding recipe for making creamy and tangy yogurt at home using an Instant Pot.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 gallon of Whole or Low-Fat Milk
- 1/4 cup of Plain Yogurt (with live active cultures)
- Optional Sweetener (Honey, Maple Syrup, or Sugar)
Instructions
- Pour 1/2 gallon of milk into your Instant Pot. Close the lid and set it to the “Yogurt” function. Heat until it reaches about 180°F (82°C).
- Remove the inner pot and let it cool to 110°F (43°C).
- Add 1/4 cup of plain yogurt to the warm milk and whisk gently.
- Return the pot to the Instant Pot, close the lid, and select the “Yogurt” function again. Let it incubate for 8 to 12 hours.
- Check for doneness; the yogurt should be thick and creamy.
- Transfer the yogurt into clean glass jars and refrigerate for a few hours before using.
Notes
The longer yogurt sits, the tangier it becomes. For Greek yogurt, strain it using a cheesecloth or coffee filter.
