How to make yogurt at home

Well, you will need a commercial yogurt maker with an electrically heated base. This, I think, is the easiest way. Yes, you can do it without a yogurt maker, but it is time consuming and I think that not many people will be up for it.

Ingredients

1 litre of semi-skimmed pastorized cow's or goat's milk (but you can use any kind of milk)
125ml of unflavored cultured yogurt, live yogurt starter

Instructions

Sterilize the jars and lids which will be used to make the yogurt by boiling them in water for 10 minutes, do not remove the lid on the pot.

Stir to blend the live yogurt starter into the milk until homogenious in a sterilized bowl (just fill the bowl with boiling water before using it and leave it for 5 minutes to be sterilized).

Once throughly mixed, distribute the inoculated milk into the sterilized jars. Do not fill to the neck, but a little lower. Put the jars open into the yogurt maker and close the plastic lead.

Leave it on over night (8-10 hours) so that the probiotics can work their magic.

When ready close each jar and leave them to cool. Store the yogurt in the fridge for 3-4 days.

When you would like to consume your home-made yogurt, why don't you try it with some ripe peaches. Skin them, dice them and place them on top of your yogurt.


Mix trough and enjoy it!
