If I had
realised just how easy making your own yoghurt was, I'd have done it years
ago. And the amazing thing is that it
turned out better in texture than the expensive organic pure yoghurt I used as
a starter!
The yoghurt
in the pic at the top is flavoured with dots of maple syrup (meant them to be
swirls but my hand wasn't steady enough) and pomegranate seeds. Of course, you can use any flavour you like.
So how did
I do it? First I bought a pint of good
quality full fat milk (don't use trim it won't work) and a small pottle of the
best natural no added sugar plain yoghurt I could find.
You heat up
your milk (I used 400mls) to just on boiling, turn the heat off and leave it to
sit until it is between 45 and 50 degrees Celsius. This only took 5 minutes.
Then whisk
in your yoghurt starter – I used 3 dessertspoonfuls.
I poured it
into a container, covered it with clingfilm and wrapped it in a clean tea
towel. Then into the hot water cupboard
overnight and you wake up the next morning to your very own yoghurt!
I came to see cause when I first lived here in Ecuador back in '75, there were no yogurt sold in stores, so my Mil taught me to make my own and I loved it! Than later on it came on sale and even the dietetic kind too, plus all flavors, lol!

Brought back memories. In Canada in the 70's stores were selling yoghurt making kits (the mixture was poured into jars, and kept at the right temperature).
ReplyDeleteMuch prefer your method!
