Instructions
Make sure all utensils and pots are sanitized.
In a large pot, add milk.
Slowly heat until milk reaches 180 F.
Remove from heat and let the milk cool to 100-115 F. (Mine is usually 110 F.)
Place 1 cup of the milk in a bowl and stir in the yogurt until smooth.
Pour yogurt mixture into the milk.
Pour everything into your instant pot.
Press the "yogurt" setting and select the "8 hours" option. (select 24 hours for tangier yogurt)
Place the lid on and let the yogurt incubate for 8 hours.
Once the yogurt is ready, place it into a container and chill until ready to eat.
You can also strain the yogurt in cheesecloth or a tea towel for a thicker texture.
Use plain or sweeten with sugar, honey, fruits, or preserves.
