Easy Homemade Yogurt

To make yogurt, you have to have yogurt or a store-bought culture.

THAT was a big disappointment to me. I like doing something from SCRATCH-O-LA. But, then I learned why. It’s not because the art of yogurt making is lost. It’s because we pasteurize in this country. The naturally occurring, beneficial bacteria that are born in the milk are killed with the baddies. So none of the cultured milk products can be made sans store-bought starter without your very own goat or cow. (Which I am two seconds from buying a dwarf goat, I tell ya. Just waiting on the go-ahead from the Town.)
