This Greek starter makes tangy, creamy yogurt. Greek yogurt culture is thermophilic and needs to be cultured at 110-115F in a yogurt maker or other appliance that maintain a consistent low temperature, such as crock pot. Since it's a true heirloom culture, you can reuse it over and over again. Activation: This is a live culture and it's recommended to activate it upon arrival to ensure it stays viable. INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING GREEK YOGURT: 1. Heat 2 cups of milk to 160F and then cool it to 110F.2. Pour the milk into a glass jar and add dehydrated starter, stir well. 3. Cover the jar and culture at 110-115F for 10 - 12 hours in a yogurt maker or similar appliance. 4. Refrigerate the yogurt for 4 - 6 hours to stop fermentation 5. Enjoy the yogurt. Always save some for next batch before using the rest. *To make the next batch, follow the steps above but add 1 tablespoon of yogurt for every 1 cup milk and ferment for 8-10 hours. **Raw Milk**Please note if using raw milk, you need to pasteurize it, as it can overpower the bacteria in the yogurt culture. FAQ: -What type of milk can be used? Whole milk is best, but lower fat will also work. Do not use lactose-free milk. -What to do if yogurt is too runny? Whole organic milk makes thickest yogurt, but adding a spoonful or two of cream will make it even thicker. Another option is to strain it through a double coffee filter.
