Back in the days, people used to make yogurt in a ceramic jug, covered with a small plate. Just pour the raw milk with a spoon of yogurt, position the ceramic jug in a warm place (somewhere close to the oven) and let it sit a day or two. In the summer, one day is enough. In colder weather, let it sit a few more days. And voila, yogurt made the traditional way! Yogurt can be made with nothing else but patience.

Would love a plastic free option and the reduced cost given how much we eat. But... I am actually wondering how the whey finish turned out. Hoping you check comments on old posts...

I heard about this after I wrote a post about why we sholudnt use plastic for our jewelry (I make jewelry from natural materials most that i find walking around in nature), someone made a comment to my post that happily brought me to fake plastic fish. I love it! My family has a long tradition of making homemade yogurt, my favorite is with homemade strwaberry syrup! Well, one good use for the whey is to use it on the face to make the skin softer and with continued use it helps to fade out the dark spots left from past blemishes or sun. You can apply a layer of whey directly, just wash your face with it, or you can mix it with other natural ingredients to make a face cream. If anyone is interested in recipes for this just email me, I know different one depending on your skin type etc.. And this are way better than store cosmetics, and one more way to consume less plastic! Kisses to you all! and thanks again!

I couldn't find any yogurt in glass or ceramic at my Whole Foods and was disappointed because I eat it all the time (I've "recycled" my containers, but, knowing what I know, now, I'd rather avoid them altogether.) Luckily, I did find the milk in glass - once I get a thermometer I'll try this! Thank you! I've recently signed the "REFUSE" pledge at plasticpollutioncoalition.org -- I'm on board and I've enjoyed reading your blog. Thank you for all your inspiration - this is do-able!
