Goddess Goatmilk Yogurt
- In a blender or mixer bowl, place 2- 3 cups of good water.
- Add 8 scoops (2 T) of Meyenberg whole powdered goat milk.
- Using same measuring scoop, add two of corn starch or any other thickener you like. (4T).
- Blend until smooth. Then add enough water to make 1 quart of liquid.
- Pour into a pan and turn heat to med high. Whisk continually until somewhat thickened.
- Place pan in fridge (or outdoors in winter) if you are pressed for time. Other wise just let it cool at room temperature.
- When the mixtures feels just slightly warm on your finger, remove a half cup of it and blend it with one packet of Yogourmet yogurt starter, or 1/3 c or so of your last batch of yogurt. Now strictly speaking this does contain a very small amount of lactose in the form of skim milk powder ,(also sucrose and active beneficial bactera ). So if you are truly lactose ALLERGIC you'd better check with your doctor first.
- Dissolve the packet of starter in the 1/3 cup of goat milk mixture.
- Add this to the large pan of goat milk mixture and whisk thoroughly.
- Pour the starter/milk mixture into two VERY clean pint jars. I use wide mouth pint Mason jars with plastic lids. (The widemouth jars are shorter and fit better into the water bath. But anything will work, even plastic jars.
- Place in a large enough pan (the taller the better). Fill the pan with hot tap water, not boiling), up to the bottom of the screw on lids. Place lid on pan.
- Place the kettle on the stove and turn on the heat to the very lowest setting. You should be able to leave your finger on the burner comfortably. You are aiming for about 108 F to 112 F. Put a lid on the pan and set your timer for 8 hours.
- You can do this over night if you are absolutely sure the burner won't get too hot. Too hot kills the beneficial bacteria. Try using your oven on the lowest setting if the burner is too hot.
- When 8 hours is up, open one of the jars and tip it slightly to see if it has set slightly. If yes, place the yogurt in the fridge and eat when cold. It will set more as it cools.
- I add vanilla, stevia (0 calorie natural sweetener), granola and berries to individual servings for a sweet dessert like treat.
- See my recipe for Goddess Granola for the perfect accompaniment.
