Homemade Yogurt (using goat milk or other milk)

After a few attempts and failures at making my own yogurt at home, I finally found a way that works.  Well, I didn't really find it, I just asked a some sisters here how they made their goat yogurt and I listened to their advice :)

Ingredients:
2 quarts of goat milk (you can use cow milk if you'd like)
1c powdered milk
1/2c yogurt starter (a sister here gave me some of her yogurt)
1/2c sugar (I used brown; next time I will add a little stevia too)
~1t vanilla extract and 1t of lemon extract (optional)

Pour the milk in the pan and heat till it's at 180 degrees (I used a meat thermometer).  Turn it OFF, mix in everything except the yogurt starter, and let it sit 'til it's at 120 degrees.  Add the yogurt starter, mix well, and pour into jars.  I got 2qts and 1c from mine.

Place the jars into a cooler, cover with the hotest tap water you have, and close the lid.  Let it sit for at least 3 hours before checking.  Tilt the jar a little to see if it is thick and set.  If it needs more time also refresh the water with new hot water.  Mine took about 4 1/2 hours or so.

Store in the fridge and use however you normally use yogurt ... we enjoyed ours with fresh fruit and a little nutmeg.  YUM!
