Perfect Yogurt

Ingredients 

• 5 cups milk
• 1 tablespoon yogurt

Method

1. Heat whole milk, bring it to boil and reduce to around four cups. Remove from heat and cool it till it comes to a temperature of 45° C.
2. Add one tablespoon of thick yogurt and mix evenly with a spoon or churner/whisker. Transfer the mixture into an earthenware pot and allow to set in a warm place (at 43°C) for four hours (in summer, otherwise may take longer).
3. In winter or in places at higher altitudes one can always wrap the pot in which you are setting the yogurt in a blanket or a similar warm wrapping. Always remove a small quantity aside for setting the yogurt for the following day before you consume the rest.
4. Refrigerate once set.
