HOME MADE YOGHURT

                         

                          

 

Here is an easy and healthy way to make your own yoghurt. 

All you need is a pan or saucepan of milk and a spoonful of pure yoghurt.

Pour all the milk (1/2 lt)  in the pan or saucepan and leave to boil on the hob.
When it starts boiling reduce the heat by half and stir the milk with a spoon (This will prevent the milk boiling over). Keep stirring for a few minutes, then turn off the heat and leave milk to get cool.

It shouldn't be too cold or hot. You can check with your little finger.

When it has cooled down, put the yoghurt into a bowl and stir with a fork. While stirring the yoghurt pour whole milk slowly into the bowl. Cover it with a plate or protective cap and then with a cloth to keep it warm. Don't move it. Leave it for at least 4 hours after which, remove the cloth and put it yoghurt into fridge. Leave it in fridge a few hours.

Your home made yoghurt is then ready to eat. If you don't like pure yoghurt you can put in some jam or grate some fruit and mix it in. 

Bon apetit!
