Homemade yogurt

Leave your container of homemade yogurt to develop over night or up to 16 hrs.
Prep Time 1 day
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings: 10 people
Course: Breakfast, Dessert, Snack

Ingredients
  

  • 600 ml Whole milk (2.5 Cups)
  • 100+/- ml live yogurt ( ⅓ to ½ Cup) Use this with caution. It can be trial and error with yogurt, as it is a live ingredient. I have found that less is more but you may need more.

Method
 

  1. Heat the milk to boiling.
  2. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to 45 degrees celsius (113F). If you don't have a thermometer, test it on the back of your wrist like a baby's bottle. It should feel warm but not at all uncomfortable.
  3. Stir in the live yogurt.
  4. Pour into sterilized airtight containers. Wrap the containers in a towel and leave them in a warm place overnight and up to 16 hours.
  5. Once its developed into creamy yogurt, give it a stir and store in the refrigerator.
  6. Flavour it how you like! I made strawberry and raspberry yogurt by adding thawed, blitzed frozen berries and some honey to taste. You could make a nice dip or even frozen yogurt!
