Notes
The 4oz Mason Jar is intended to be used as starter for your next batch of yogurt. This way you do not need to go buy a new container of yogurt everytime you want to make yogurt.
For your first batch, be sure to use a yogurt that says "Live and Active Cultures" on the label and is unflavored (plain is best).
I have you remove the sealing ring because it can carry a garlic flavor or flavors from past dinners.
