To make yogurt at home, you will need milk, as well as sour-milk bacteria that are found in yogurt, ordinary kefir or special starter cultures. Milk must first be boiled and cooled to the desired temperature. Mix milk with sour-milk bacteria, pour into vessels and put in a yogurt maker, turn on the net. You do not need to cover the jars during cooking, just close the yogurt maker itself.
