Method (preview)

1. 1

   Heat 1 cup nonfat or lowfat milk to 90-100 F (nonfat milk gives the most tang, whole milk the least). Remove from heat and stir in 2 T freshly opened lowfat or regular plain yogurt (lowfat gives the tangiest flavor).

2. 2

   Pour mixture into a warmed (rinse with hot water for several minutes) 1 1/2 qt container, cover tightly, and let stand in a warm place at 80-100 F. (Above 110 F, the bacteria may be killed; below 70 F, the bacteria don't grow well.) After 18-24 hrs, starter should be about the consistency of yogurt. If some clear liquid rises to the top, simply stir it back in. However, if liquid is light pink in color, milk is beginning to break down; discard and begin again.
