Instructions
Using the instant pot, set it on the yogurt setting to "Boil" or set it on "Saute".
Pour your milk into the instant pot.
8 cups milk
Using the instant read thermometer, allow the milk to reach 180℉ (82℃) to pasteurize and denature the milk. Stir the milk occasionally to prevent the milk from scalding (burning).
Place the milk insert into an ice water bath and reduce the temperature of the milk to 120℉ (49℃).
Add the yogurt and stir / whisk to disperse.
3 Tbsp plain yogurt
Dry the instant pot insert before placing back onto the instant pot heating element.
Place the instant pot onto the yogurt fermentation setting for 8-12 hours. Cover.
Remove the yogurt and strain through a cotton tea towel in a double boiler for 2-8 hours. The longer the straining process the thicker the yogurt.
Pour the thick yogurt into a pourable container before trying to pour it into smaller containers.
Cover the yogurt containers with sealable lids.
Store in the refrigerator. Yogurt will last 2 weeks refrigerated. Remember to remove 3 Tablespoons for the next batch!
