  Mix the milk and yogurt starter

  Continue to add 4 cups of unsweetened yogurt into the milk mixture and stir gently in one direction for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is completely blended.

  Tip: To avoid difficulty in fermentation, you should leave the yogurt starter at room temperature for 3-4 hours if taken from the refrigerator before adding it to the milk mixture.

  Yogurt Fermentation

  Take a small glass jar and fill it with yogurt about 2/3 full, cover it, and place it in a foam box.

  At the same time, put another pot on the stove with 1.5 liters of water and boil over high heat for 5 – 7 minutes, until the temperature reaches 70 degrees Celsius, then turn off the heat.

  Finally, pour all that water into the foam box, cover it, and proceed to ferment the yogurt for 12 hours.

  Tip:

  • The yogurt fermentation temperature will range from 32 – 48 degrees Celsius, and must not exceed 54 degrees Celsius, otherwise the yogurt culture will die.
  • If you do not have a foam box, you can put the yogurt in a rice cooker. Just place the yogurt in the pot, cover it tightly, and there’s no need to plug it in!
