Making yogurt — with no added sugar, no high-fructose corn syrup, no thickeners, and no shady business — is easier than you think, and requires no specialized equipment. This recipe tells you how to make yogurt using a dutch oven or other heavy pot to heat the milk and hold the heat in while the yogurt sets. You don't need a yogurt maker, a heating pad, a slow-cooker or an Instant Pot. Stir in some store-bought yogurt to get things started, and you don't need a yogurt starter. This recipe makes plain yogurt, but of course you can add fruit, honey or flavorings — or strain it in cheesecloth or a paper towel set in a pasta strainer in the fridge overnight to create homemade Greek yogurt. For a creamy finish, make whole-milk yogurt. For a leaner product, use 2-percent milk. The first time you make your own yogurt, you won't believe how easy it is. Once you've made your first batch, the live cultures in your homemade yogurt can be used to make the next batch! Just remember not to eat it all (though if you do, buy more commercial yogurt and repeat the process). Read Less
