Making Yogurt | Live Free or Die: How to Homestead

·Nov 11, 2024

I really like making my own yogurt. I have a quart of milk, and I have some already made yogurt in this bowl, and I have a pot.

So the first step is to take your quart of milk and put it into a pot. I'm going to take this milk, and you're going to warm it up just to where I start seeing some steam come off of the milk.

So the next step is to put the milk back into the quart jar. I'm going to pour this warm milk into the jar here, and you want to fill it up until you have maybe a quarter cup of room left in there.

You're gonna add three large tablespoons of culture to the warm quart of milk. You can just buy some plain old yogurt at the store; just make sure you get plain. Once the yogurt and the milk have been mixed together, put a lid on it.

I like to do it loosely because as the fermentation is occurring, air's going to be released. I'm going to wrap it in this wool blanket. If you have an oven, you can put it in the oven on warm. You want it to stay from about 80 degrees to 100 degrees.

It's becoming more and more common in our culture here in the mountains to make your own yogurt because a lot of people have their own milk, and they have to find something to do with their milk.

It only lasts for so long, and it's one way to waste a lot less food. You can ferment your own milk, of course. The best part of yogurt is when it's finished, and you get to eat it, so I'm gonna have some now.

It's breakfast, and my favorite way to eat yogurt is with honey. So I'm just going to drizzle a little honey on it, or a lot of honey. This is my homemade yogurt and some honey from our honeybees. It's one of my favorite breakfasts.
