My friend Pindi's family is from India and she shared a really simple way to make yogurt with me. Every week, I have been making a batch for my family that we use for soups, dressings, breakfasts and snacks.
I have used several different methods in making yogurt in the past and most often the end result was a little too sour for my likings. This recipe makes a wonderful creamy yogurt that will have you making yogurt every week! Give it a try.

1 quart of organic whole milk
2 Tbsp of yogurt (your culture)
1 quart canning jar
2 dish towels
