Notes
- If you don't have an Instant Pot, any type of multi-cooker or yogurt maker that allows you to ferment for 24 hours will work as well.
- If you want to sweeten your yogurt you can do so while it is warm before placing it in the refrigerator. Add honey, maple syrup, or sugar of choice.
- Make sure the milk you use has been recently opened. Don't use milk that has been opened in the refrigerator for days.
