2. Ferment!
Cover the jar with a clean dish cloth or cheesecloth and secure with an elastic band. Place in a room temperature area, out of direct sunlight, for 12 hours. If you like yogurt that’s more tart, let ferment for longer. Refrigerate once you’ve reached your desired taste.
Optional, but to make it even better….
Top yogurt with your favorite fresh or dried fruits, nuts, granola, cacao or stir in chia seeds to make chia pudding. Add organic, raw honey for more medicinal benefits and as a natural sweetener.
