Yoghurt making

For those who are interested in making yoghurt, here is a simple and easy recipe.

You will need 1 litre milk, 2 or 3 table spoons dry milk powder, and 2 table spoons store bought plain yoghurt.

Add the dry milk powder to the milk. Heat the milk until it is almost boiling. Heat slowly and stir often to prevent scorching. Remove before it comes to boiling point. Allow the milk to cool at room temperature. Don't proceed until the temperature of the milk is about 90F (32C). Let the store bought plain yogurt sit at room temperature while you are waiting for the milk to cool. Add the plain yogurt to a little milk in a cup and stir well. Add this to the boiled milk. Pour your milk into a clean container or containers. Cover each one tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. It will take about 8 – 12 hours to set. Place the yoghurt in your fridge for several hours before serving. It will keep for 1-2 weeks. You can use yoghurt from this batch as starter for the next batch.

Happy yoghurt making!
