How to make yogurt at home
Ingredients for making ½ litre plain yogurt:
- Milk – 500 ml
- Plain starter yogurt – 1 tbsp
Making yogurt instructions:
- Bring milk to boil in a pot. Cool it
till it is just warm.
- Add 1 tbsp plain yogurt with live culture. Stir
gently.
- Pour it in the bowl in which you want to set
curds.
- Keep aside till it sets.
Tips to get perfect yogurt:
- Keep the yogurt warm to encourage bacteria
growth. Between 100F and 120F (40C and 45C). If you live in a warm
place you can put the container at the room temperature.
- If you live in a colder place or during
winters, keep the containers in oven or crock pot set to the desired
temperature.
- Or you can wrap the container in warm clothes.
Use an old blanket or a sweater to wrap around the container. You will
be conserving energy too with this method.
- Do not move the yogurt till it is set. It can
take anywhere from 8-10 hours to set depending on the temperature of
the place where you live and where you set your container.
- Refrigerate the yogurt once it is set. Leaving
it outside will make it sour.
- You can keep it for a week or so. If you are
going to use some of it as starter, use it within a week, so that the
bacteria is still active.
