Heat the milk
Boil full-fat milk in a pan over medium heat. After one boil, keep stirring for 5-7 minutes on low heat - this thickens the milk. Let the milk cool slightly.

Tip
For extra creamy yogurt, do not remove the cream that forms on the milk while cooling. If you don't want the starter too sour, use less yogurt and set it for a shorter time. To set yogurt quickly, you can use a little sugar or lukewarm water.
