1 t. vanilla (optional)
1. Clean/sterilize Instant Pot.

3. Set Instant Pot to yogurt “normal” cycle. Set time for 8-9 hours. Flavor is stronger if you cook longer. I cook for 8 1/2 hours.
4. When cycle is done, remove and refrigerate in Instant Pot overnight. Stir well after it’s cooled.
If you use the first 2 ingredients you will have a yogurt similar to a plain greek yogurt. If you use all 4 ingredients you will have a sweet, vanilla yogurt.
Tastes great with fruit, lemon curd or honey.
