Ingredients

• 4 cups Full-fat milk
• 2 tablespoons Plain low carb yogurt with live cultures
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Low carb sweetener (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Pour the full-fat milk into a medium-sized pot and place it over medium heat.

Step 2

Heat the milk until it reaches between 180°F and 200°F, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn't scorch. Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.

Step 3

Once the milk reaches the desired temperature, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool to around 110°F. This cooling process may take 30 to 40 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of the cooled milk with the 2 tablespoons of plain low carb yogurt until smooth.

Step 5

Add the yogurt mixture back into the pot with the rest of the cooled milk, stirring gently to evenly distribute the live cultures.

Step 6

If using vanilla extract and sweetener, add them at this point and mix well.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into a clean glass or ceramic container that can be covered with a lid or plastic wrap.

Step 8

Place the container in a warm environment, for example, in an oven with the light on or a yogurt maker, maintaining a temperature around 110°F.

Step 9

Let the yogurt ferment for 8 to 12 hours, depending on your preferred tartness. The longer it ferments, the tangier it will be.

Step 10

After fermentation, move the container to the refrigerator to cool for at least 4 hours to thicken and develop flavor.

Step 11

Before serving, you may stir the yogurt to a smooth consistency. Serve it plain or with your choice of low carb toppings such as nuts, seeds, or berries.
