Sarah’s Making Yoghurt Go Further recipe sheet. Ingredients and instructions are written out below.

Ingredients and method

Ingredients

  • 2 litre carton of semi skimmed or full fat milk (for thicker yoghurt)
  • 2 large serving spoons of your favourite plain yoghurt

Equipment

  • Large saucepan with lid (or cling film if no lid)
  • Wooden/metal large spoon

Method

  1. Put the 2 litres of milk in a large saucepan, heat gently until the milk boils and continue boiling for 10 minutes.
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and leave until cool enough to put a finger in the milk (i.e. the milk is still hot but not burning hot).
  3. Add the 2 large tablespoons of your favourite plain yoghurt and stir.
  4. Put the lid/cling film on the saucepan and put it in a warm location (airing cupboard/boiler cupboard/next to a radiator) overnight wrapped in a blanket or thick towel. In the morning you will have thick yoghurt that can then be transferred into the fridge.

Handy tip

Remember to keep 2 large serving spoons of the newly made yoghurt for your next batch of yoghurt making.
