Gather @whole milk{1%l} and @plain yogurt{2%tbsp}.

Simmer the milk in a wide pan, stirring often, until reduced by about a third and lightly thickened, about 25 minutes. ~{25%minutes}

In a separate small pan, melt the @sugar{150%g} over medium heat, undisturbed, until it turns a deep amber caramel.

Whisk the hot caramel into the reduced milk until fully dissolved, then let it cool until just warm to the touch.

Whisk in the yogurt starter thoroughly, then pour into small earthenware cups or a covered bowl.

Set in a warm, draft-free spot — an oven with just the light on works well — undisturbed for 6–8 hours, until fully set and faintly wobbly. ~{7%hours}

Chill at least 2 hours before serving cold, straight from the cup. ~{2%hours}
