Delicious, easy and rich in protein, calcium, potassium,vitamins B6 & 12 plus rich in friendly bacteria to aid digestion. I don’t have a yogurt maker so here is a really easy way to make it.

YOU WILL NEED:

  • 1 litre non homogenised organic full fat milk
  • 1.5 tbsp plain live natural yogurt ( starter)
  • 1 litre thermos flask
  • 1 thermometer

METHOD

Heat the milk in a saucepan until 92  degrees C. I don’t have a cooking thermometer so I just brought the milk to almost boiling stirring constantly. This part is to kill off any unfriendly bacteria.

Put the saucepan in a sink of cool water and keep stirring and checking the temperature until it’s between 38 and 35 degrees ( I used an ordinary child thermometer to check this). This is the critical part so don’t rush this!

Stir in the yogurt and then pour the combined mixture into the thermos and leave for 12-18 hours. (I forgot about it and checked 36 hours later and it was fine! ) By the way you add the yogurt to the milk above 42 degrees you will kill off the yogurt.

Pour out the delicious set yogurt and store in clean sterilised jars for up to one week( from the dishwasher is fine).

TIP: Next time save a little of your own yogurt as the starter for the next batch.
