minutesIngredients
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/3 cup of yogurt (with probiotic/live cultures)
1 1/3 cup of room temp water
2 2/3 cups hot (not boiling) water
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
- In a bowl whisk together condense milk with hot and then room temp water.
- Whisk in the yogurt and then strain mixture to remove any lumps. Pour mixtures into jars (make sure they’re all similar height when you pour them in the jars.)
- Seal jars or place double saran wrap on top. Place into a pot and pour in hot (not boiling) water until its over the yogurt line. Place the lid on the pot and set in a cool place for 5 hours (I put mine in the oven). Once time is up, refrigerate for 2-3 hours then enjoy!
