My Mom's Homemade Yogurt
- 2 liters milk
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 6 ounces plain yogurt
- 2 (5 g) yogurt starter
- Pour 1/2 cup of milk in a small measuring cup.
- Sprinkle the gelatin.
- Stir just a little bit.
- Set aside.
- Pour the remaining milk in a large saucepan.
- Heat at medium heat, always stirring, until milk is 180F (you can use a candy thermometer).
- When the milk is 180F, remove from the heat.
- Take some of the hot milk and add it to the mixture of milk and gelatin.
- Stir well.
- Put this mixture in the saucepan with the milk.
- Stir.
- Allow the milk to cool to lukewarm-110F To speed up the process you can place the pan in cold water.
- When the milk is 100F, you can remove it from the water.
- In a small bowl, mix the plain yogurt with the yogurt starter.
- Stir well.
- Put in the saucepan.
- Stir well.
- Pour in the yogurt maker by straining it.
- Follow the directive of your yogurt maker.
- When it's ready (I let it in the yogurt maker near 10 hours), put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
- I like to add splenda and instant coffee that I sift so it's easier to dissolve in the yogurt.
- Or I add splenda and 1 tablespoon of jam.
- Or just maple syrup on top mmmmm.
