Step 1

Gently stir the starter culture into the milk (I use a mason jar) and cover it with a towel and rubber band. Avoid capping it tightly with a lid, as the culture needs room to breathe.

Step 2

Allow the milk to culture at room temperature for 12-24 hours. When it is complete, the buttermilk will be thick and have a delicious tangy smell.

Step 3

Store your finished buttermilk in the fridge (it usually lasts at least several weeks for me)
