Yogurt, with its creamy texture and tangy taste, is a delightful treat enjoyed by many. Making yogurt at home using live lactic ferments is not only a fun culinary experiment but also a great way to ensure you’re getting the freshest and healthiest yogurt possible. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of making yogurt with live lactic ferments. Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need:

  • 1-quart milk (any type you prefer)
  • 1-2 tablespoons of plain yogurt with live lactic ferments (as a starter culture)
  • A thermometer
  • A saucepan
  • A whisk or spoon
  • Glass jars or containers with lids

Step 1: Heat the Milk

Pour the milk into the saucepan and heat it over medium heat until it reaches a temperature of around 180°F (82°C). Stir the milk occasionally to prevent it from scorching at the bottom.

Step 2: Cool the Milk

Allow the milk to cool down to about 110°F (43°C). This step is crucial because higher temperatures can kill the live lactic ferments in the yogurt starter culture.

Step 3: Add the Yogurt Starter

Add 1-2 tablespoons of plain yogurt with live lactic ferments to the cooled milk. Use a whisk or spoon to thoroughly mix the yogurt starter into the milk, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 4: Incubate the Yogurt

Pour the milk and starter mixture into your glass jars or containers. Secure the lids tightly. Place the jars in a warm spot, such as an oven with the heat turned off, or use a yogurt maker, to maintain a stable temperature for fermentation. Let the yogurt incubate for 6-8 hours or until it reaches your desired consistency and tanginess.

Step 5: Refrigerate and Enjoy!

Once your yogurt has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the incubation spot and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours to halt the fermentation process. Your homemade yogurt with live lactic ferments is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it plain or add your favorite fruits or toppings to enhance the flavor.

Making yogurt with live lactic ferments is a rewarding and cost-effective way to indulge in this nutritious dairy delight. Experiment with different milk types, such as cow’s milk, goat’s milk, or plant-based alternatives, to find your preferred taste and texture.
