Description
Choose milk with a fat content of 5% or higher (this will yield thick yogurt suitable for all occasions; otherwise, it will be something unclear, like drinkable yogurt). Alternatively, you can mix suitable milk and cream. For example: //0.9 L of 3.2% milk + 0.5 L of 6% milk// 0.4 L of 2.5% milk + 1 L of 6% milk// 1 L of 2.5% milk + 0.3 L of 25% cream// In general, the fattier, the tastier! Farm-fresh milk should be boiled first! Then cool it down to about 40 degrees Celsius (this is when your hand can tolerate it). Activia Natural yogurt from Danone has proven to be an excellent starter culture. It works great, is available in any supermarket, and is very affordable. I haven't tried others. With 3 tablespoons of sugar (any kind), you will get sweet yogurt; with vanilla, it will be a delicately flavored vanilla yogurt. If you skip the sugar and vanilla (as I found out by accident), you will get a wonderful natural yogurt suitable for salad dressings, as a substitute for sour cream in cottage cheese, for marinades, etc. It is perfect for children and those who monitor their sugar intake.
Ingredients
- Milk - 1 qt
- Sugar - 3 tablespoons
- Vanilla salt - 0 oz
- Bacterial Starter Culture - 3 tablespoons
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Mix all the ingredients with a whisk or blender. Wait until the sugar dissolves (you can slightly warm it on low heat on the stove).
Step 2
You can skip the sugar and vanilla — you will get a wonderful natural yogurt!
Step 3
Pour into jars (I can fit 3 550 ml tomato paste jars in my container), cover with lids (do not screw them on, just cover them) to prevent condensation.
Step 4
Place a plastic/silicone trivet at the bottom of the multicooker/pressure cooker (to prevent the jars from cracking from the hot pot), put the future yogurt on it, and pour water into the bowl up to the shoulders of the jars.
Step 5
Every multicooker/pressure cooker I have encountered has a mode that it switches to after the food is cooked. For example, if rice is cooked in 7 minutes, it switches to a keep warm or reheating mode. It has different names. Find out how to activate this mode :)
Step 6
Activate this mode, set a timer for 6-7 minutes (during this time, the water heats up to about 113°F, and the yogurt will reach about 40 degrees, which is what we need). Leave it alone for about 6 hours, do not open the lid during this time.
Step 7
Place in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to mature.
