My friend, Emily, turned me on to this a year ago. You use a purchased yogurt culture and milk to create your own yogurt at home. Because we can go through a lot of yogurt at my house and because the stuff my wallet likes isn't the best stuff for my body, I gave it a try.
You have to start this project on a day when you will be home because there is lots of waiting. But, it's simple, easy, and delicious.
I recommend reading a few "recipes" first to get an idea of how it works and some tips and tricks. Then give it a shot.
You will need a slow-cooker, a large-thick towel, a whisk, and a milk thermometer.
You will also need cheese cloth and strainers if you want Greek yogurt. But I skip this part because straining yogurt is a MESS!
Here are a few sites to check out:
