Homemade Plain Whole Milk Yogurt in the Instant Pot

If you’ve never made yogurt at home, you’re in for a treat. It’s a rewarding process that gives you an appreciation for the role that bacteria play in our lives—and it yields delicious, versatile yogurt you can enjoy without any additives or artificial ingredients. Don’t be put off by the long preparation time; for most of that time, the yogurt is unattended while the Instant Pot does its thing. Note that the small amount of yogurt in the ingredients is used for its live bacteria, which will convert the milk into yogurt. Look for a yogurt with as few ingredients as possible, ideally just milk and bacteria. Additives and thickeners may interfere with the results.
