Hey guys! Today I’m showing you how to make Homemade Yogurt! This is a very basic recipe, and you’ll find out that some ingredients are optional. Just have fun, and as always, I hope you enjoy this!

First, gather your supplies. For this guide, I’m already using a homemade yogurt, but for the start, I needed a store-bought one. I recommend using a basic one, such as vanilla yogurt➡️

This is because you are going to use more milk than yogurt, and the flavors of the yogurt are going to kind of dissapear. But don’t worry, you can flavor your own yogurt as you want!

Each machine is different, but I think they all have glasses to make the yogurt. My machine has 8 glasses, which are going to help me with measuring. That said, let’s start!

As I said, I\u2019m already using homemade yogurt, but anyway. Fill one of your glasses with your yogurt.

Now, pour that milk into the bowl. Repeat this with the rest of the glasses. How? I have 8 glasses. One of them is yogurt, so I need to add seven glasses of milk.

After that, you can flavor your yogurt a bit. I use some sugar (about 2-4 tablespoons) and some vanilla extract. Again, this is optional. You can as well as leave it as it is

Also, I add some powdered milk (2 tablespoons) because I like my yogurt a bit firm.

And cover with the lid. My machine needs 8 hours to make the yogurt. Check how long does yours need in the manual.

After the time has passed, unplug the machine, cover the yogurts with their lids, and put in the fridge. That’s all! Flavor, eat alone, with cereal, or even make popsicles!

Quick tip: save one of the yogurts to make a whole new batch following these same steps. Enjoy!
