Yogurt - homemade!
|
|
Save money

|
Stay cool in the hot weather
|
|
Stay refreshed
|
|
Here's how...
|
|
|
|
1 gal. milk
|
|
1/8 th - 1/4 c yogurt (starter)
|
|
|
|
------- PLEASE PRINT --------
|
|
|
|
In a heavy saucepan, bring milk to a boil under med. flame. Using a lid
|
|
will cause the milk to come to the boiling point faster, but that means
|
|
the milk has to be watched closely. Careful, as milk will bubble and
|
|
overflow easily at boiling point. Stir occasionally to prevent burning
|
|
on bottom of pan.
|
|
When milk is at a rolling boil, reduce heat and continue to cook so as
|
|
to thicken milk to a creamier consistancy, about 10-15 min at low heat.
|
|
That will make the yogurt creamier.
|
|
Afterwards, remove from flame and let cool, stirring occasionally to
|
|
cool milk. Milk must cool down to the right temperature before mixing
|
|
in yogurt.
|
|
I've found the best method is to wait until milk has cooled down so
|
|
much that milk has reached body temperature. That is, it is at the
|
|
temperature that if you stick your (you did wash your hands, didn't
|
|
you?) finger into the milk, you can barely notice any temperature
|
|
difference in the milk. If the milk is too hot, you can't keep your
|
|
finger in the milk for long, and the yogurt culture will be killed. If
|
|
the milk is too cool, the yogurt may not grow.
|
|
Once milk is at body temperature, take 1/2 of the yogurt, or about 1/8
|
|
cup, or a couple tablespoons and mix into the milk and stir. After
|
|
that, add the other 1/2 of the yogurt starter, and just drop into the
|
|
milk.
|
|
Now, cover milk with yogurt starter preparation and place in a warm
|
|
spot for about 10 hours. On top of a oven with warmth coming from a
|
|
pilot light may be sufficient. Keep free from draft. Covering with
|
|
towel might be a good idea in bright area. Leave undisturbed for 10
|
|
hrs. Refrigerate after done.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy the cooling effects of yogurt in the hot weather. Your body andl
|
|
stomach will appreciate it.
