Equipment

  • instant pot
  • thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 gallon whole milk
  • ¼ cup plain greek yogurt

Instructions
 

  • Pour the milk into a large stockpot or use the insert for the Instant Pot if yours is able to go on the stovetop. Bring the milk to 180 degrees Fahrenheit, but no higher.
  • Let the milk cool to 120 degrees and then whisk in the yogurt.
  • Transfer the milk mixture into four clean 1-Quart mason jars. If you used the Instant Pot insert to heat the milk, wash and dry it. Place lids on the mason jars and place them inside the insert in the Instant Pot.
  • The Instant Pot has a yogurt fermentation setting. Attach the lid and position the steam release valve in the pressure position. Press the yogurt button and walk away! The yogurt will be finished in 8 hours.
