Preparation of Homemade Yogurt:

Add the milk in a heated saucepan, and let it boil slightly. Be careful not to scorch it. When the milk is hot enough, transfer it into the Mason jar. Allow it to cool down and using a thermometer measure its temperature. Once it gets to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, add the yogurt and stir well.

Seal the jar and wrap it with a heating pad and then with a towel. Let it stay like this with a heating pad turned on for 10 hours. Then, remove the heating pad, and let the jar stay in the fridge for a whole night.

Your homemade yogurt is now ready to be consumed. For a different flavor, you can add some fruits or spices. Avoid cow’s milk when preparing homemade yogurt because the best one is that prepared from goat milk.
