In the Westernized world, one can easily get used to simply getting everything from the nearest grocery store, hyper- or supermarket. There are several foods that can be prepared at home, resulting not only in saving some money for other needs but also in a healthier, fuller lifestyle at the end. One of these preparations is yogurt. Here are the instructions on how to make raw milk yogurt at home.
It can be a surprise to some people that the product can be prepared easily in your own kitchen. You don't need special ingredients. Everything you need can be found at the corner store. They are not even expensive. You only need to buy some raw milk and a small amount of unflavored yogurt to serve as the starter.
The key elements are the dairy product and the starter. Use raw dairy product that has not been subjected to high temperatures. If you want thicker results, use dairy with a higher fat content. The opposite is also true. If you want a thinner results to use as a sauce, reduce the fat content in your base liquid.
As for the starter to buy, a small container of natural product is enough, the most important factor to check is that it includes a content of living flora or bacteria. This information is always indicated on the container. The living flora content of the product is of key importance because the bacteria goes on to produce a material called lactic acid, which is responsible for changing the nature of the mixture. This lactic acid content will change the nature of the mixture.
While the rest of the recipe is pretty standard, it can vary a little, depending upon who is making the recipe. You should begin by bringing the dairy liquid to a boil and keeping it at a temperature of at least 180 degrees for a time. This heat will kill off any unwanted contents and bacteria which can be detrimental to the final result. Once it has reached the 180 degree level for a time, you should allow the result to cool down to about 110 degrees F.
Once the liquid has cooled to the appropriate temperature range, add a small amount of the starter that contains living bacteria. You must be certain that the resulting mixture stays at about this same temperature for at least two hours. You can do this by pouring the mixture into a jar or bowl and setting it in a warm location. You could also use a warmed oven or even a commercial product maker that keeps the mixture at the best temperature.
The next step is simply to wait for the bacteria in the mixture to work their magic on the base. 110 degrees is the favored temperature to encourage the living flora to begin producing the critical ingredient of lactic acid. You will need to keep the mixture warm overnight, or for a minimum of four to eight hours. A longer time period will result in a thicker end product.
This is how to make raw milk yogurt at home. It doesn't require any unique knowledge nor any special or unique ingredients. Simply leave a small portion of yogurt to work the raw milk until the whole eventually becomes a yogurt.
