My fellow elementary school ALT teachers, if you are ever asked to take extra food home, get all the milk you can take and buy an instant pot. You can buy a living yogurt packet from any supermarket, about 1 tablespoon per 1000ml of milk and boom, delicious yogurt. It’s so simple to make and lasts a long time. Not to mention you have whey leftover for cooking or hair rinses. 放送終わります。
Edit: there are various ways to incubate your yogurt. I just said instant pot because I already had one.

You don’t need an instant pot to make yogurt. A regular pot works.
I am not sure about the cultures made from those living yoghurt packets, but I have a culture that I can just pour from one carton to another and make more yoghurt.
For late fall, winter and early spring I put the carton in an incubator I made from an incandescent light bulb and a no longer needed fish tank. Warm months its not necessary.
I don’t get much whey though. And the yoghurt is not sour.
You can get a yogurt maker on Amazon, and a yogurt strainer. I am using R 1 so it gets some flavor
I strain my yogurt for 2-3 days to make it into labneh. Reduces down a lot.
Is this going to be another ayran recipe?
I remember getting extra milk cartons from the OLs in my school who wouldn’t drink it because they were on a perpetual diet (despite already being deathly skinny).
Why make yogurt? You can get that anywhere.
Instead, take 200 milk cartons and fill up your bathtub and have a milk bath as God intended.
Honestly, I just use regular milk from the supermarket and a few spoonfuls of Bulgaria. Never needed living culture.
