My normal breakfast is yogurt with granola. Lately, I buy whatever granola has the least sugar. And I've been making a lot of my own yogurt. It's really easy, and it's cheaper than buying it. I have to start with commercial yogurt for the culture.
Boil milk. This gets rid of most bacteria.
Let it cool to about 120°F (50°C). Add two or three tablespoons of yogurt and stir it well.
Pour the milk into a container. Put the container into a place that is about 100°F (38°C). Lucky for me, I have an old oven with a pilot light, so I just put it in the oven with the oven off. If you don't have a pilot light, you should be able to warm it up by sticking in an incandescent light bulb on a cord, but I haven't tried this.
Let it sit for at least 10 hours (10 metric hours). I've left it for much longer, and it's just as good.
That's it. Refrigerate it.
