Yoghurt is so easy to make

using this method.


I have wanted to make yoghurt from scratch before, but I kept putting it off because I didn't think I had enough time. Then I found these instructions and it looked simple so I thought I'd give it a go. It didn't take much time at all, it was simple and the yoghurt tasted lovely.



I used this Jalna yoghurt as my starter. This is the yoghurt I had been using, but I didn't like that it comes in plastic, and I really wanted to make it myself. The yoghurt I made also tasted nicer than the Jalna, it is more mild in taste. The home made version is also a lot cheaper.  From now on I will definitely be making my own yoghurt. I also used organic milk which means my yoghurt is organic. 


The finished product served over homemade granola and blueberries, my favorite breakfast. I have milk on it too.  The granola recipe is from here

  3. I used to make my own yogurt in my crockpot but haven't done so at all this year. I found that organic milk did not work - it would never set properly. Strange. I only tried one brand, though, available locally. Should start up again.

  4. That's interesting Kika. I used a thermometer and made sure it was the correct temp. Let me know how you go.

  5. I've found that it's best to use fresh starter every 4 or 5 batches, and that it's nice to use the brand whose taste I like. I do use raw, organic milk faithfully with no problems.
