InstantPot Plain Yogurt
This plain yogurt recipe can be flavored in any way you like! Choose the fermentation time which best suits your taste: less time being more like traditional yogurt - thinner and milder - with longer fermentation times producing something more like Greek yogurt.

- 1 whole milk
- 6 ounces plain, full fat yogurt (Greek works well)
To begin, pour the gallon of milk into the InstantPot. Press the yogurt button three times until the readout displays BOIL. Place the lid on the pot and allow to finish the cycle.
Once the boil cycle has finished, remove the lid and cover with a cloth until the temperature of the milk comes back down to about 110 degrees. Add the plain yogurt and whisk in very well. Place the lid back on the pot.
Press the yogurt button again and enter the desired culturing time. A minimum of 8 hours is recommended all the way up to 24 hours. 12 hours is a good place to start if this is your first time making yogurt.
Allow the yogurt cycle to finish; optionally you may strain the whey from the finished product or add flavoring. Store in a container for up to 3 weeks in the fridge. Don't forget to reserve about a cup for cooking your next batch!
