YOGURT/GREEK YOGURT 
1 quart whole milk
3 tablespoons plain yogurt with live cultures

Bring milk to a boil, then simmer for two minutes. Place pan in sink filled with cold water until you can hold your clean finger in it for a count to ten. Or, use a thermometer and bring milk down to 109 degrees. In a bowl, mix the three tablespoons of plain yogurt with the now warm milk. Cover with plastic wrap. Wrap bowl with a big blanket and put in a draft free area (the oven is a good place) for 6 to 8 hours. This yogurt keeps in the refrigerator for about two weeks.

To make "Greek yogurt", pour the finished yogurt into a colander lined with sterilized cheese cloth, and let drip for an hour or two. Then, refrigerate. Lasts for about two weeks.

 Bill (Maryland) says:
You might want to add a tablespoon of sugar per quart of milk and to thicken it further, we use a cup of dry, powdered milk per quart of liquid milk. For the whole batch we add a pinch of salt. The culture we use, and there are many to select from, is Activia - works as advertised.
