Homemade Yogurt
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 9 cups water
- 3⅓ cups SACO Mix’n Drink Instant Skim Milk
- 1 cup brand name plain yogurt
Instructions
- Boil water in stainless steel pot.
- Remove from heat.
- Using wire whisk, blend in Mix’n Drink powder.
- Put back on heat and boil for one minute.
- Remove from heat.
- Use a candy thermometer and cool down to no lower than 110°F.
- Place yogurt into large glass mixing bowl.
- Add warm milk, one cup at a time.
- Whisk until yogurt is thoroughly combined with milk.
- Pour in the balance of the milk.
- Place a piece of Saran Wrap over top of the bowl.
- Take bath towel and layer between the glass bowl and a regular household heating pad.
- Turn heating pad on high. Wrap rest of the towel around bowl to keep heat in. Leave for four hours. Yogurt should be of a gelatin consistency at this point.
- Cool yogurt completely, remove Saran Wrap, then refrigerate.
- You will probably have to drain moisture off before each use.
- Great to top baked potatoes, cereal, etc.
- TIP: Using a water bath when making this yogurt will help it set up better.
- To do this, instead of wrapping the bowl the yogurt is in with the towel and heating pad, simply find a pot that will easily accommodate the bowl that your yogurt is in.
- Place enough water in the pan to surround the bowl to its top ledge when it is set inside the pot, without leaking into the yogurt.
- Cover with pan’s lid and wrap pan with your towel and heating pad.
- Proceed as directed to leave for four hours.
