Ingredients
  

  • 1 Gal Milk Raw
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk Greek Yogurt Full Fat with Live Cultures (or starter)

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Thermometer
  • Yogurt Strainer

Method
 

  1. Use a clean stainless steel insert of the instant pot & clean sealing ring.
  2. Pour the gallon of milk into the silver liner.
  3. While constantly stirring have the instant pot on sauté mode and bring to 210℉
  4. Once this temperature is reached remove the Stainless Steel Insert and let the milk cool to 110℉ (you can place the insert in the sink and pour ice all around it-- this is what I do and it typically cuts down the time drastically)
  5. Once you reach 110℉ place the insert back in the instant pot and stir in the full fat yogurt/start
  6. Place the lid on the instant pot and press the yogurt button (I typically change the time frame in the yogurt button, our families sweet spot is about 20hrs)
  7. When the time is up, remove the lid, give it a nice stir, then transfer to greek yogurt strainers and let it sit for about 24hrs to set and have the whey separated.
