Homemade yogurt.

MAKES
1 litre

INGREDIENTS
1 litre whole milk
1 heaped tbsp powdered milk
60g natural full-fat yogurt

METHOD
Wash and sterilise a 1 litre jar or a few smaller ones.
Place the milk in a saucepan and heat until a thermometer reads 175F/80C – do not let it boil.
Take it off the heat and stir in the milk powder.

When the temperature drops to 115F/45C, stir in the yogurt.
Pour into the jar and seal with the lid.
Place somewhere slightly warm such as an airing cupboard or near an oven (you can also wrap it in a towel to keep the heat in) for 4-6 hours – the longer the fermentation, the more tart the yogurt will taste.
Place in the fridge for at least three hours to chill and firm up, then it’s ready to use.
