Ingredients
- ½ Gallon milk (or 8 cups – whole or 2%)

Instructions
- Pour the entire ½ gallon (8 cups) of milk into a 6-quart Crock Pot.

- After 3 hours, remove 2 cups of the warm milk from the Crock Pot and place it in a medium bowl.
- Whisk ½ cup plain yogurt with live active cultures into the warm milk until smooth.
- If using, whisk in 1 packet unflavored gelatin until dissolved.
- Pour the yogurt mixture back into the Crock Pot and stir gently to combine with the remaining milk.
- Place the lid back on the Crock Pot, keeping it unplugged. Wrap a clean bath towel completely around the Crock Pot to help insulate it.
- Let the yogurt culture for 8 hours without disturbing it.
- Transfer the yogurt to airtight containers and refrigerate until completely chilled.
- Serve plain or add your favorite flavorings before serving.

Tip: The unflavored gelatin is optional but helps create a thicker, creamier yogurt that is more similar to store-bought yogurt.
