Homemade Yogurt
By: Sarah
4 Cups Organic Milk
1/3 cup powdered milk
1 tablespoon plain yogurt
2 cups berries
2 tablespoons sugar
Mix 4 cups of organic milk with 1/3 cup of powdered milk. Cook over medium heat until the mixture reaches 190 degrees. Turn off the heat and cool to 110 degrees. Put 1/2 cup of mixture in a jar and mix with 1 tablespoon of yogurt. Return the mixture to the pot and mix completely. Divide the milk into 8 jars, than either place in a yogurt maker or keep at exactly 110 degrees for 10 hours.
In the mean time, put 1 cup of berries in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the berries begin to release their juice. Mix in 2 tablespoons of sugar. Turn off the heat once the sugar dissolved and mix in the remaining berries. Refrigerate until cooled and mix with yogurt!!! Yum!
