How to cook Starter for homemade yogurt

Step 1

Prepare the starter. Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Cool to 42 degrees and remove the foam from the surface. Pour the starter into the milk and mix thoroughly to avoid lumps. Cover the saucepan with a lid and wrap it in a thick cloth. Leave it in a warm place for 13 hours. Then remove the cloth and put it in the refrigerator for 120 minutes.
