Content: Start with a 3/4 cup (6 ounces) of cultured buttermilk in a very clean glass quart jar. Add 3 cups of whole milk. It does help if the buttermilk is fresh, because the live buttermilk cultures are more active in fresh buttermilk. Seal up the jar tightly, give it a good shake to blend everything together, and then let it sit at room temperature, like in your kitchen, for 24 hours. The ideal temperature range is 70 to 77 F. Up on top of your fridge can be a good spot. After 24 hours, the buttermilk will have thickened to where it will coat the inside of a glass, and it should have a pleasantly tart flavor. Refrigerate to chill or use right away, and store in the refrigerator, where it will keep for several weeks. Repeat the process as often as you like when you get down to the last 6 to 8 ounces of buttermilk. The key here is the ratio of 4:1. You could use one cup of buttermilk and four cups of whole milk, but that won't fit in a quart jar.
