I’ve used an electric heating pad to help keep mine warm. The type of heating pad one would lie on for muscle pain.
Be sure to watch the temp & not let it get too hot, or cold.
The temp range posted in the recipe is very important or the healthy bacteria swimmys in it will die & then no good yogurt.

I love homemade too. I have found that the type/taste of plain yogurt you use as a starter affects the taste of the homemade batch, too. If you have a favorite store-bought with live active cultures, use that as your starter. Thanks for the easy instructions!

Cedens, you don’t have to add the cream. I like my yogurt extra rich, but you can definitely skip the cream. Just use low fat milk, and if you want it thicker, add more powdered skim milk.

Hey, teammegryan! What I do to sweeten my yogurt is add simple syrup to it. My aunt sometimes adds a touch of fruit jam for a sweeter and fruitier flavor. But I’m guessing you can just use your preferred sweetener.
