Add 1 liter of 3% milk to a pot.

Remove from heat and let cool to 115°F (46°C).

Mix a bit of the cooled milk with 1/4 cup of plain yogurt with live cultures until well combined.

Add the yogurt mixture back into the pot of milk and stir thoroughly.

Cover the bowl with cling film and wrap in a warm towel.

Place in an oven with the light on for 6 to 12 hours to ferment.

After fermentation, place a strainer over a bowl and line it with cheesecloth.

Pour the yogurt into the strainer and cover with cheesecloth or cling film.

Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to thicken the yogurt.

If too thick, mix in some of the drained whey to reach desired consistency.
