Homemade yogurt

Homemade yogurt anyone? Here’s a recipe you’ll love, because you made it, it’s easy, cheaper and because it really is better than the one from store.

Ingredients:

For a 16oz jar

1.Milk -16oz

2.Yogurt -1 tbsp(with live cultures)

If you want to make this Maple yogurt just add 2tbsp in the jar.

Bring milk to boil on midum high to 210°F-240°F. Stir consistently so milk doesn’t stick to the pot and burn. When milk starts boiling, boil for 1 min and remove from oven.Let it cool to 110°-120°F, about 20 min. In the meantime in a jar put a table spoon of yogurt, the yogurt must have live active cultures. There will be a film forming on top of the milk during the cooling, just remove it with a fork. After cooling the milk, pour in the jar and stir quickly, close the jar, you can wrap it in towels (anything to keep it warm) and put it inside a pot and cover with the lid, leave in the microwave overnight, and in the morning you should have yogurt.

• The yogurt must be wrapped in something and left somewhere warm. The trick is to let it cool very slowly, if it doesn’t it won’t work.

• If the milk sticks to the pot try not to disturb the bottom, just pour the milk slowly, you can also use sieve.
