Yogurt from Scratch
You can vary the amount a solid setup a bit by using whole milk, or 2% plus either heavy cream of 1/2&1/2. I used whole milk plus 1/4 cup of 1/2 & 1/2 in this recipe.
Make sure when choosing a yogurt to culture from that it says in the ingredients list that it contains 'live and active' cultures.
