Making yoghurt

29 October 2011 | Tobago
YOGHURT

I have not been able to find any plain yoghurt in Tobago, so was luck to find another cruiser with a “starter” for me.
The starter can be a good quality plain yoghurt that you have OR a special yoghurt starter that you buy in a kit form. The French Yacht Taugl gave me a good starter from a kit they had bought in New Zealand.

1Litre milk (I use powdered)
3 tbsp powder milk (this is to make it thicker) – add this to the 1l above
Heat this very slowly until it reaches 34-36 C NOT MORE – turn off heat
Add in the starter (or your bought plain yoghurt) – about 3 or 4 tbsp and stir it in.
Decant into some jars and place in a cooler bag that is well insulated and will keep warm – I wrap a towel around the jars and place into a soft cooler bag or you could use a sleeping bag.
After 4 hours the yoghurt should be a bit like soft jelly – place in your fridge.
Remember to keep back a few tbsp for the next batch you make
