Ingredients
Instructions
  1. First, pour the gallon of whole milk into the Instant Pot and turn on the sauté function. Bring the milk temperature to 180 degrees. It takes 10-15 minutes in my Instant Pot. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature.
  2. Once the milk reaches 180 degrees, turn off the Instant Pot. Immediately take the pot insert out, and let the milk cool down to 110 degrees. You can put the pot on ice in the sink to help it cool faster, or let it cool on its own. To let it cool on its own, you can start in the morning and check the temperature at midday to see if the milk has reached 110 degrees.
  3. Next, add the store-bought yogurt or yogurt from a previous homemade batch. Stir well.
  4. Place the pot insert back into the Instant Pot and put the lid on. Set it to the yogurt setting for 8 hours or overnight.
  5. Remove the lid and take the pot insert out. Cover it and place it in the refrigerator, or transfer the yogurt to a bowl and put it in the refrigerator. Let the yogurt cool for at least 4 hours in the fridge or overnight before serving. The yogurt tastes better cold.
  6. Freeze ⅔-1 cup yogurt in a ziplock bag to use as the starter in another batch.
  7. Serve with homemade granola, a drizzle of honey, and some berries or with your favorite toppings.
  8. Store the yogurt covered in the fridge for up to 10 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
