Yogurt Recipe

I have had many requests for the yogurt recipe. It came from a friend's website, is not my own. Hope you enjoy.

YOGURT
2 cups water
2 cups milk powder (I use Nestle Full Cream Milk Powder here)
2 Tbs yogurt starter
2 cups hot boiled water

Whisk together 2 cups room temperature water, milk powder, and starter. Add 2 cups hot water and whisk just a bit. Pour liquid into clean jars. Let set for 4-6 hours

Note: When letting the yogurt set, it needs to be in a warm place. I have been pouring my yogurt into nalgene bottles, wrapping them in a towel and putting them in the microwave (it seems to be a great insulator). Also, I have been just leaving it there overnight, sometimes easier than not using the microwave for a full 6 hours. I have a friend who has been using a big thermos thing and she says it works great too to help the yogurt to set.

Note #2: I have also heard that the thicker the yogurt starter you use the thicker your yogurt will be. A lot of our yogurt here is really runny. I found the thickest I could find and used that the first time. It worked great and have now just been using my own yogurt as the starter for the next batch.
