Mommy modified this recipe that was originally from the Nourishing Traditions book..
6 3/4 C. raw milk
3/4 C. powdered milk
2/3 C. whole milk yogurt, plain
Heat milk and dry milk in a double boiler to 110 degrees. Add 2 TB of the warm milk plus 1 TB starter yogurt into each quart jar.
Stir or shake to combine. Pour the remaining warm milk into the two quart jars and add an additional 3 TB of yogurt per jar. Leave the lids off and incubate in the dehydrator at 95 degrees for 8 1/2 to 9 hours.
This yields 2 quarts of yogurt.
Raw milk yogurt is my favorite for flavor and nutritional value. I am still experimenting with this recipe to perfect it. I would like to try leaving the lids off and incubating it at 100 or 105 degrees to speed up the process and reduce tartness. The recipe as written isn't very tart and is about a medium thickness. Keeping the raw milk below 110 degrees insures that all the live enzymes are still alive. This is so very good for you and it's yummy too! Mommy has found the Nourishing Traditions book to be helpful although I am not convinced that everything proposed is exactly correct health-wise. As with everything, if you choose to read the book, ask God to give you wisdom and glean what you can from it. Don't worry about the rest! :)
Love Always,
Mommy
