For a thicker yogurt, strain it through cheesecloth for a few hours after chilling. Experiment with different types of milk, such as whole milk or skim milk, to achieve your desired consistency. Add honey, fruit, or granola to your homemade yogurt for a delicious and healthy treat. Ensure your starter yogurt has live and active cultures for proper fermentation. If you have a yogurt maker, you can use it according to the manufacturer's instructions instead of the blanket method. For best results, use a high-quality plain yogurt as your starter.
