🧂 Ingredients

1 To sterilize the Instant Pot, secure the lid, close the pressure-release valve,
and select the high pressure function for 5 minutes. Once finished, manually
release the pressure using an oven mitt or towel to protect your hand from the
escaping steam. Pour out the water.
2 Add the whole milk into the Instant Pot inner pot. Use the yogurt function to
boil the milk.
3 Remove the inner pot and let the milk cool to 110F or 43C using a thermometer.
The exact temperature is crucial for the live cultures to thrive. You can speed
up this process by creating a cold water bath in the kitchen sink.
4 Stir in the plain yogurt to the cooled milk.
5 Pour the mixture back into the Instant Pot inner pot. Set the yogurt function
for 8 hours. For a tangier yogurt, increase the incubation time.
6 Optional: I strain the finished yogurt via a cheesecloth-lined sieve to make
Greek-style yogurt, saving the whey in a bowl below for other recipes.
7 Refrigerate the yogurt for at least 2 hours before serving.
