• 5 whisk until smooth and then pour into a bowl with a lid.
• 6 wrap in thick kitchen towels and place in a preheated oven. (you can preheat it to any temp, you just want the oven to be warm to keep the yogurt warm).
• 7 allow it to sit undisturbed in the oven for 8-12 hours (i left it for a little over 13 hours with no problem).
• 8 remove it from the oven and strain in a mesh strainer or colander lined with a coffee filter or paper towels (you can also use cheese cloth, i just never have any).
