Instructions
Pour the milk into your slow cooker and turn it on low. Cook it for 2 hours and 45 minutes.
After 2 hours and 45 minutes, turn the crock pot off and let it sit for 3 hours.
Spoon a cup of the warm milk into a small bowl and add the half cup of yogurt to it. Mix thoroughly.
Dump this mixture back into the milk in the slow cooker and mix it around well.
Put the lid back on your slow cooker and wrap the crock pot with a large beach towel or blanket (make sure the crock pot is unplugged and turned off!).
Let the beach-towel-wrapped crock pot sit for 8-12 hours (or overnight). At this point, the yogurt should be thickened.
Spoon yogurt into jars or plastic containers and refrigerate for a few hours before eating.
Save 1/2 cup of this new yogurt to use as the "starter" for your next batch.
