Yogurt

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 tbsp yogurt, store-bought or from a previous batch

Method

  • Heat the milk to 180 - 200 degrees fahrenheit (82 - 93 celcius). If you're using an Instant Pot, for this step you can add the milk to the instant pot, then press the "Yogurt" button and then press "Adjust" until the screen says "Boil".
  • Allow the milk to cool to 110 - 115 degrees fahrenheight (43 - 46 celcius). This will take 1 to 2 hours if left alone, though you can speed up the process with an ice bath. Spoon off any milk skim that has formed at the top.
  • Add Yogurt Starter. Remove a ladleful of the warm milk into a bowl and whisk the yogurt starter into it. Then pour the mixture into the pot and whisk to combine.
  • Set Yogurt Timer:Β Β Place the inner pot back in the instant pot and secure the lid (again, it doesn’t matter if the vent is sealed or not). Press the β€œYogurt” button and adjust until it reads 8:00 to 12:00 hours (less time for looser, milder yogurt and more time for thicker, tangier yogurt).
  • When the time is up, check the yogurt. You will know it’s Β ready when it has thickened and jiggles only very slightly, like jello. (After refrigerating for a few hours it will set up even more.)
  • Refrigerate.Β  Remove the yogurt to a container or cover the inner instant pot bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, before serving. This allows the yogurt to thicken and set up more. Stir well before serving.
  • Store in containers in the fridge and enjoy within 10 days.

Ultimate goal is to learn how to make soy milk or coconut milk or some mixture into a plant-based yogurt... but I wanna get the process down first with dairy ingredients, as a kind of control, and then see if I can match the process and get an analogous end result using plant-based ingredients.\n*   Soy yogurt recipe at [Soy Yogurt – The Secret to Making the Best Vegan Yogurt! - The Hidden Veggies](https://thehiddenveggies.com/best-homemade-vegan-soy-yogurt/)\n*   Another soy yogurt recipe from a Canadian blogger at [Vegan Lovlie](https://veganlovlie.com/homemade-soy-yogurt/), plus they've got a video at [Homemade Soy Yogurt recipe \\[without Yogurt Maker\\] | Dairy-free Yogurt recipe | Vegan Yogurt recipe - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWHw4xYsDyg)\n*   There's also [this video on making soy yogurt without starter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v_1EO25Yb0)\n",
