INSTRUCTIONS
1. HEAT THE MILK:
IN A SAUCEPAN, HEAT THE MILK TO ABOUT 82 ºC TO KILL UNWANTED BACTERIA. THIS STEP IS ESSENTIAL FOR ENSURING THE SUCCESS OF FERMENTATION.
2. COOL THE MILK:
ALLOW THE MILK TO COOL TO AROUND 43 ºC
3. ADD THE STARTER CULTURE:
WHISK IN THE PROBIOTIC YOGHURT STARTER CULTURE UNTIL FULLY INCORPORATED.
4. FERMENTATION:
POUR THE MIXTURE INTO CLEAN JARS AND COVER THEM LOOSELY. PLACE THE JARS IN AN INCUBATOR / YOGHURT MAKER OR A WARM AREA TO FERMENT.
KEEP THE TEMPERATURE STEADY AT AROUND 43 ºC FOR 6 - 12 HOURS, DEPENDING ON HOW TART YOU PREFER YOUR YOGHURT.
5. CHECK CONSISTENCY AND FLAVOUR:
AFTER FERMENTATION, CHECK THE YOGHURT. IT SHOULD BE THICKENED AND HAVE A TANGY FLAVOUR.
6. COOL AND STORE:
TRANSFER THE YOGHURT TO THE REFRIGERATOR TO COOL AND THICKEN FURTHER.
7. SAVE FOR FUTURE USE:
RESERVE A SMALL AMOUNT OF YOUR HOMEMADE YOGHURT AS A STARTER FOR YOUR NEXT BATCH.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
1. TEMPERATURE CONTROL: MAINTAINING A CONSISTENT TEMPERATURE DURING FERMENTATION IS CRUCIAL FOR SUCCESSFUL YOGHURT-MAKING. USING A YOGHURT MAKER OR AN OVEN WITH THE LIGHT ON, CAN PROVIDE THE NECESSARY WARMTH.
2. QUALITY INGREDIENTS: USING HIGH-QUALITY MILK (OR PLANT-BASED MILK) AND A GOOD STARTER CULTURE IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE BEST FLAVOUR AND TEXTURE.
3. EXPERIMENTING WITH FLAVOURS: AFTER THE YOGHURT HAS FERMENTED, FEEL FREE TO ADD FRUITS, HONEY, VANILLA OR OTHER FLAVOURINGS TO SUIT YOUR TASTE.
