📝 Preparation Steps
1
The Day Before
2
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, over low heat bring the milk to a simmer. It will take around ⏱️ 15-20 minutes. The freshest milk will yield you better yogurt.
3
Once it starts to bubble turn off the heat and set aside. You will notice a skin has formed on your milk, that is normal.
4
Let it cool down to the blood temperature. You can test this by placing your finger in there and if you can’t feel the milk around your finger then it is at blood temperature.
5
Once cooled, whisk in the yogurt or Yogurt starter. Pour into a sterilized jar and tightly close the lid. Note: You can sterilize your jars by placing some water in them and popping them into the microwave until the water steams.
6
Line a deep bowl with a thick tea towel and place in the jar of yogurt. Wrap the jar up well in the towel and let it sit out in a warm part of your kitchen for ⏱️ 14-18 hours. (I use two tea towels to keep the yogurt warm and snug. Essentially you are creating an incubator for it to set)
7
The Next Day
8
After this time, pop the jar in the fridge and let it get cold, roughly ⏱️ 2-3 hours. Once chilled your yogurt will be firm and thick in texture. (the thickness can vary. If yours did not thicken double check your steps and timing )
9
At this point you can add sugar, sweetener, honey, fruit and vanilla and enjoy! Keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
