We do this twice a day in most Indian households, and without any equipment. We save a bit from every batch to make the next one and the cycle continues for years, the same starter often passing down through generations to give you heirloom yogurt haha. No meal is complete without a some cool yogurt at the end :)
Especially in this heat. Also, I don't think any household actually measures the temperature. Boil it, cool it down a bit, pour in old yoghurt container, leave it over night. Done.

Maya Sarram have you ever wondered how yogurt was initially made?...you grow bacteria in milk and then use the curds to make yogurt...you don’t need yogurt to make yogurt. It’s like the question of what came first, the chicken or the egg...I make yogurt completely from scratch and there’s lots of videos to show you how it’s done...you can use chili peppers or lemon or my favorite which is tamarind.
Maya Sarram it’s really simple! I was surprised at how easy it really was. Take a small glass jar and add milk to it. It doesn’t have to be unpasteurized. Take the tip off of a pepper or the skinned rind of a lemon and place it into the milk. Place a I’d over 90% of the jar and let it sit overnight in a warm place on the counter. The next day it should be slightly curdled. That’s the curds you will need to make your yogurt. The next step is to simply use the curds the same way you would with store bought yogurt and the more you make it the better it becomes and the more cultured it is. People have been making it from scratch far longer than they have been using pre-made from the store. With times being a bit difficult to get into the stores there’s a great chance that you might one day need to do this completely from scratch.
Yep! Bought one 6 oz container of fage yogurt as a starter, only used a couple teaspoons to start my batch. I ate the rest, it was really good. ANYWAY: after I bought that one container, I've never had to buy yogurt again. Just milk 😊
How to make yogurt: Ingredients- milk, YOGURT Edit: I know how to make yogurt. This is just a joke, so please stop telling me how to make yogurt in the replies.
nithya suravaram but then u can use your homemade yogurt in place of the store bought yogurt for ur next recipe, that way you don’t need to buy more yogurt. or you could buy an expensive starter online instead of just buying cheap yogurt at the grocery store
there are these things online called yogurt culture. mix them with buttermilk and heavy cream, whisk really well, let sit at room temp in a plastic container covered with plastic wrap (use a fork to poke holes in the wrap cover) for 3 days. get a sheet tray, lay 2 hand towels on the sheet tray so that its covered end to end, then after the 3 days dump the court unto the hand towel lined sheet tray. then spread evenly and cover with hand towels, leave in the walk in overnight.
you can buy cultures on their own but probably more expensive than a thing of cheap yogurt. and like zach said you can just keep making yogurt from the yogurt you made. save a lil each time and you're good.
Hi Joshua, I really love your videos and it is a pleasure getting inspired by your recipes. But this time (as a child of a greek mother) I really hate but need to correct you: If you want to make Greek yogurt you need another starter. The skyr you used in your video will produce skyr. Of course you can strain it and get something similar to Greek yogurt but it won't be the real deal. For real Greek yogurt you'll need a starter with lactobacillus bulgaricus and a higher fat content in your milk (about 10%, I use cream to set it up) It will be firmer on its own, because the lactobacillus bulgaricus produces a more sour and firmer yogurt, and does not need straining. Sorry, I hope my English is not too bad and understandable. Greetings Alex
Yeah maybe, if it's very fresh and the bacteria still alive and active. I live in Germany and you can buy starter cultures here in special supermarkets for organic food. I tried it with Greek yogurt as starter. Sometimes I succeeded sometimes I failed. Just try to get it as fresh as possible. 🤘 Greetings Alex
@@JanGudme Most commercially-available "Greek yogurt" is simply strained yogurt like Joshua demonstrates here. You'll notice that the labelling will say something like "Greek style" or "Greek strained".

I agree, I'm from Bulgaria and I do homemade yogurt, it needs that bacteria, good homepasturized milk and some patience, the best yoghurt is made with sheep's milk
nice! i've never bothered measuring my temperatures.... bring to a simmer; let cool to room temp; mix in yoghurt; pour in containers; and let sit in oven with light on for 8-12 hours. never failed...

I'm Indian and this is how simply we do it: • Coat a glass or porcelain bowl with a spoonful of yogurt. • Then pour lukewarm milk on it from a little height so that it bubbles up. • Just cover the bowl with a heavy plate or something. • Let it sit still for like 6 hours in room temperature(or somewhere warmer). Be sure not to disturb it. • And voila! Your homemade yoghurt is done.
I am a baking and pastry arts student on my last semester. This channel has me inspired🥰, I've been cooking since I was 5, I am now 30, and I just love making my own stuff. My kids and I love yogurt, I can't wait to make some for them! P.S I just saw your croissant video, you're fantastic!

Made this last night. Turned out perfect. When my 21 yo daughter smelled it today, she said, "It smells just like yogourt" lol. She was shocked. Thanks for a simple video that makes the perfect yogourt. I used the oven light on method, for 12 hours.
I'm from India and it's very common here to make yogurt by adding lemon juice to milk. Usually two tablespoons of juice to one litre of milk. We leave it on the kitchen counter and by morning you get yogurt. it's warm where I live so fermentation isn't a problem.
Been doing this for years now. I learned it from my grandmother and my mother. We buy fresh organic milk from the farmer's market every week and make yogurt in a huge jar. I eat it every morning with some oatmeal and Honey. I decided that this year I'll learn bread baking. Thanks to your videos I'm able to learn it.
Cool video, thanks for highlighting the joy of homemade yogurt! I've been making it for probably 5 years or more, and I really appreciate the comment about UHT milk being a-OK for yogurt. Maybe it's bad for making certain kinds of cheese, but for yogurt, the milk quality is the only important factor, as you said. I do have a couple of suggested tweaks that have made my yogurt habit even less time consuming over the years, in case anyone else is interested: 1. Put the cold milk in jars and microwave it for 30 minutes. You will have to use a low, low power setting (30-40%) on your microwave, but this will gently heat the milk to 180F without any need to stir it regularly. There's no pot to clean up at the end, literally no mess at all. You can cut your active time down to 5-10 minutes, especially once you get to know your microwave (at the end, you have to check the milk temp and put it back in for shorter periods in the microwave till you hit 180F). You have to be careful the first few times to make sure it's not heating too fast or too slow, and note that the microwave heats at very different rates depending on how much milk you're scalding, so if you change the amount you heat, you're going to have to adjust the power level accordingly. 2. Use an immersion circulator to cool and incubate the yogurt. This is just another option as an alternative to the proofing chamber, but it has one big advantage in that you can also use it to cool the scalded milk quickly. It's not as fast as an ice bath, but it's many times faster than letting it air cool (takes 8-10 minutes in my experience), and when it's done you just stir in the yogurt to each jar, make sure the circulator is at 110F, and leave it. 3. Get a reusable yogurt starter from Cultures for Health. Buying store-bought yogurt works great, but you can't reuse it. By the second or third reuse, the yogurt invariably begins to taste "off" and usually also change its texture for the worst. An 'heirloom" starter gets BETTER with reuse (at first, then it evens out and becomes totally consistent), so you never have to buy yogurt at the store at all, just the milk.
your recepies are not only takes more complex ingredient, unless some other videos/channels where they don't go "complex", but you film it the way it's so desireable to watch.
I bought that Brod and Taylor proofer (for sourdough and other yeast products) based on your recommendation - and now will use for yogurt.... I absolutely love it! So nice to have a controlled environment along with that little water tray for humidity!
Love your videos! I drool with every B-roll. I've been making my own yogurt for the past month. We have two kids and consume a lot! This has saved us money and stops us from creating so much garbage. Keep up the great work!
Right before you went into the video, you said "its fermentation friday" and my husband was like "yogurt is fermentation? What is yogurt?" Then you started the video with "we all know what yogurt is, so I'll move on"... lol
Josh, I love your videos!! I watch them before I go to sleep at night to relax - I love cooking, and watching you make gorgeous food is truly inspirational for my tiny college-student culinary repertoire.
If you use jars you can also use a sous vide water circulator to keep the temperature constant. The shape and dimension of the container it is fermented in tends to change the texture alot. Try using shallow containers and deep containers depending on use.
I started making yoghurt about a year ago, love that I can make super thick Greek style which usually costs a tonne to buy. Plus I save the strained whey to use when I bake bread!
Using a packet of Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria (the same culture present in yoghurt) would allow you to go forward without using a starter yoghurt.
I use two spoons of milk powder to make the yogurt more creamy. I used to make it in Argentina but I didn't know the specific name of the products in English. Thanks!
@@fitrianhidayat Until it turns sour. Jokes aside, when the taste becomes off you toss it. It should be sour enough to repel most bugs, but some can settle in and turn it rancid (esp. if you have high fat yoghurt). Just store it cold and it'll keep for 2 weeks at the very least.
I make yogurt all the time. I find the easiest way is to use a 1 liter wide mouth thermos flask. Just bring the temperature down to 42 degrees, add the starter yogurt, pour into the thermos put on the lid and leave on the counter overnight. Next day transfer to smaller containers straining if you like.
I love making my own yogurt!! I use fair life whole milk, it works great! I use my instant pot tho. I just mix it together and press the yogurt button and wait!
exc. , just to say, if using uht, no need to heat, just room temperture uht (full cream but semi-skinned can do) + starter yogurt will do. if u want to increase thickness, add 2-3 tbspoon iof milk powder. stir. it will make the greek yogurt thick enough to stand a spoon in. ur first comments r on point...why didn't i did this sooner? also, mix greek yogurt with home made creme freche (buttermilk + double cream, same prep - far superior to store bought creme freche) and add some jam, sugar, OMG - better than ice-cream. creme freche smooths out some of the yogurt's sourness.
Yeah in my greek household we make our tzatziki from scratch. End up with stockings of yoghurt draining in the fridge over a strainer over a bowl, haha. Homemade yoghurt is the best, you should all give it a try. Amazing recipe Joshua!
you have to buy yogurt only once just to make the first batch and then you're good to go for a while. Unless you find the stomach bacteria to make it. I actually have a video about making yogurt that i go in depth how yogurt was made in the beginning.
@@TattoedKiss You can also use the whey, which is the liquid you get when you strain your yogurt, as a starter. Don't throw that liquid away. There are many uses for it.
Just here to say that i was looking for a yogurt recipe...saw many videos and all were bad...then i remembered that joshua had made such video....i thus appreciate the quality of your content so much now
You don't like the phrase of "nut milk" in your mouth.🤔 Anyways when can you add a vanilla bean? Do you have to wait until the finished product or can you slip it in during the 6 hour wait? 😮 I'M SO SORRY! I just used "slip it in" and "nut milk in your mouth" in the same post 🤐. 😎🤗🤗😎
Eric Nathan give both a try and see what you prefer/comes out best. I’d try adding the vanilla when the milk is heated as that’ll extract the most flavour but that might be too intense if it’s in the fermentation - nut who knows‽
I've tried making this with milk made of milk powder and it works too! Just make sure the powder is totally dissolved, strain the milk before adding the yogurt if you can, or else there will be some tiny grains in the final product.
Nice video as always. I use just one tablespoon of yogurt to seed two quarts of whole milk. Then I drain the yogurt for 4-6 hours to get true greek yogurt texture. I have been using my instant pot yogurt feature to heat the milk to 180 F and then again to hold at about 112 F for 8 hours.
Idk I'm not weirded out by "Nut milk" maybe cuz I personally like nuts ....😉 lol and you know its just calling it what it is. Well, really if we wanted to be technical it's not milk it's more like juice, but "Nut juice" is yea "now ya crossing over the line, ya nasty!"
finished watching all your vids and now i dont know what to do with life. wish i found your channel later so i'd have more to watch! KEEP IT COMING you're absolutely amazing 🔥🔥
Hey Josh thanks for the video’s. They are well done and entertaining. Also you give legit measurements so we can stay safe. I make most of all my fermentation things from your videos and I even have combined flavor ideas from one and mended it to another recipe. I will be making this yogurt today and I am infusing a simple honey. And again, thank you.
I know I have to do mental gymnastics everytime I buy it. Like its so good/expensive that I want to make it last long but it goes bad three days after opening so I never know how much I want to eat :(
Just one more alternative - I’ve used commercial yogurt makers but then found the easiest possible solution (for me). I put the yogurt into a couple large thermal cups (one is a Yeti, for example), then put those into a grocery store thermal bag. It incubates perfectly. I also sometimes throw in a bit of powdered milk while heating the milk - it makes for a creamier consistency. Cream probably does the same. And whatever yogurt I use as starter, that’s the consistency I’m going to come close to, so I always use Greek yogurt.
“Heavenly Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen
My parents have always done this, we do buy store bought a lot too though. But it's nice to see the accuracy here, because they just mix the yogurt and milk and just leave it to vibe
I love my instant pot yogurt. I'm cheap so I use store brand whole milk and store brand Greek yogurt (Meijer brand for those in the Midwest). 8 cups milk, 1/2 cup nonfat milk powder, 1 whole 5 oz container of yogurt and incubate for 10 hours. Mine comes out super thick, super smooth and no straining needed. And if I make it often enough to use my previous batch for starter, it gets even better.
Sous vide bath is easy for controlling fermentation temp precisely; can also be used to heat the milk to 180F, then bring back to 109F slowly without the ice bath. Slower, but more hands-off.
I've been making my own yogurt for years using a crockpot. I also recently made sour cream using active culture yogurt and heavy cream. The your was store bought for using as a a starter culture. You can also use this kind of culture to help make aged cheese. Just fyi. You can freeze home made yogurt to have it keep, I haven't yet, but I will next time I make it. I like your recipe though. It's a bit easier than the way I've done it. It's also a way to do it if the crockpot it already in use
Sous vide is also a great option for yogurt making. And for Greek yogurt without straining, use half and half instead of milk -- comes out at Greek yogurt thickness as soon as fermentation is done.
With so many trials and errors, my yogurt is finally PERFECT. First my milk was not heated high enough so that it did not kill bacteria still in the milk and the cow bacteria killed my yogurt culture. And then I added my yogurt culture before my milk was cool enough and that killed my yogurt culture again. I finally got yogurt. I strained it to make thick Greek style yogurt. I had all that whey. I made pancakes with it, I gave it to my plants, my cats hated it, so I looked up how others do it to enjoy 100 percent thick yogurt. I learned to incorporate 1 teaspoon cornstarch when mixing my culture together with some milk before adding it to the entire batch. AND it works! I am finally enjoying my yogurt and every drop.
I had really awful heartburn during the pandemic and someone recommended in a comment that I eat more yogurt. My mom hates yogurt so we usually don't have it at home but she was willing to buy it for me. It definitely reduced my heartburn and now I only get it from certain trigger foods which are easy to avoid
Now i do this all the time as i love yogurt but dislike low/no fat versions....try making yogurt with straight heavy cream..a little goes a long way but tastes sweet with a less fermentation i go 5-6 hrs max.strain it and then its thicker..grandson loves it! I add fruit and if i want i use a bit of flavorings..a drop or two or three..add granola..a meal..
OMG...there is video recipe to make curd. We Indians know this recipe and make it like it's a no brainer. We make it usually every alternate day. Not kidding. Every alternate day. Anyway, but I like your dedication to do everything at home. Please keep them coming.
Made this last night! Worked great just turning my oven on and off to keep around 40 C. For 10 hours got a great thicccc yogurt! Great content as always !
@@user-od9xe5oy5s Naw just turn it on for a min until it gets to 42 degrees then turn it off. The heat should stay in the oven for a few hours. So total the oven was only on a combined 2 minutes maby.
Thanks for the recipe... However, you have used Skyr (an Icelandic product similar to yogurt very popular in the Nordic countries). Skyr has different bacteria which makes a much thicker product, also it is a bit bitter.
I just love making yogurt at home. This recipe is wonderful and I can have cheap and great quality greek yogurt with this method. I love it! Thanks Josh! :)
Can’t remember if you mentioned this - after that first batch, you can use your own yogurt as the next batch’s starter. After several times, it’s usually good to do a store-bought again (the homemade supposedly weakens after a while, though I’m not positive that’s true).
I ordered a sous vide cooker (keeps water circulating and at a given temperature) - they say you can put your filled jars underwater with that running as an alternative fermentation station incubator
I do this alot but since I live in a hot climate I just stir the yogurt right into the milk or cream and just set it out and two or three days later I got the best yogurt or sour cream in the world!

Bloody hell dude! You are churning out the videos this week!
Gotta put in that WORK. Thank you for noticing!
@@JoshuaWeissman Please, pace yourself. I love your content but I've seen too many RUclipsrs burn out...
Haha! Churn.... like food'n stuff
I love homemade yogurt! The smell when it is fermenting is heavenly! So good, so easy!
My boyfriend and I saw you tonight near Alamo Drafthouse S Lamar. I was to shy to say hi, just say hi here! Haha
Been doing this for years now. I learned it from my grandmother and my mother. We buy fresh organic milk from the farmer's market every week and make yogurt in a huge jar. I eat it every morning with some oatmeal and Honey. I decided that this year I'll learn bread baking. Thanks to your videos I'm able to learn it.
I love making my own yogurt!! I do admit Skyr yogurt is one of my favorites especially the coconut one.
Trina Flynn I tried the skyr yogurt that comes with little things to put in it, I didn’t expect it to not be sweet but it was enjoyable
@@heyitsemily677 It is a pretty good yogurt. I really enjoy the coconut flavor! If only I could create my own to taste just like it :)
Recipe link?
Have you tried organic, powdered milk. Yum! What a flavor. Unique.
Cool video, thanks for highlighting the joy of homemade yogurt! I've been making it for probably 5 years or more, and I really appreciate the comment about UHT milk being a-OK for yogurt. Maybe it's bad for making certain kinds of cheese, but for yogurt, the milk quality is the only important factor, as you said.
I do have a couple of suggested tweaks that have made my yogurt habit even less time consuming over the years, in case anyone else is interested:
1. Put the cold milk in jars and microwave it for 30 minutes. You will have to use a low, low power setting (30-40%) on your microwave, but this will gently heat the milk to 180F without any need to stir it regularly. There's no pot to clean up at the end, literally no mess at all. You can cut your active time down to 5-10 minutes, especially once you get to know your microwave (at the end, you have to check the milk temp and put it back in for shorter periods in the microwave till you hit 180F). You have to be careful the first few times to make sure it's not heating too fast or too slow, and note that the microwave heats at very different rates depending on how much milk you're scalding, so if you change the amount you heat, you're going to have to adjust the power level accordingly.
2. Use an immersion circulator to cool and incubate the yogurt. This is just another option as an alternative to the proofing chamber, but it has one big advantage in that you can also use it to cool the scalded milk quickly. It's not as fast as an ice bath, but it's many times faster than letting it air cool (takes 8-10 minutes in my experience), and when it's done you just stir in the yogurt to each jar, make sure the circulator is at 110F, and leave it.
3. Get a reusable yogurt starter from Cultures for Health. Buying store-bought yogurt works great, but you can't reuse it. By the second or third reuse, the yogurt invariably begins to taste "off" and usually also change its texture for the worst. An 'heirloom" starter gets BETTER with reuse (at first, then it evens out and becomes totally consistent), so you never have to buy yogurt at the store at all, just the milk.
your recepies are not only takes more complex ingredient, unless some other videos/channels where they don't go "complex", but you film it the way it's so desireable to watch.
My mother makes curd every alternative day tastes amazing.
I bought that Brod and Taylor proofer (for sourdough and other yeast products) based on your recommendation - and now will use for yogurt....
I absolutely love it! So nice to have a controlled environment along with that little water tray for humidity!
Yessss, glad you're enjoying it. It really is one of my favorite pieces of equipment.
I gotta try this out I’m tired of buying pretty label yogurt
And? How's it?
Love your videos! I drool with every B-roll. I've been making my own yogurt for the past month. We have two kids and consume a lot! This has saved us money and stops us from creating so much garbage. Keep up the great work!
Right before you went into the video, you said "its fermentation friday" and my husband was like "yogurt is fermentation? What is yogurt?" Then you started the video with "we all know what yogurt is, so I'll move on"... lol
Man that was a sick burn 👀
Josh, I love your videos!! I watch them before I go to sleep at night to relax - I love cooking, and watching you make gorgeous food is truly inspirational for my tiny college-student culinary repertoire.
I love coconut milk yogurt -though it’s typically three times the price of regular yogurt!! I wanna try and make it myself ☺️
Did you ever make that if so how did it turn out?
If you use jars you can also use a sous vide water circulator to keep the temperature constant. The shape and dimension of the container it is fermented in tends to change the texture alot. Try using shallow containers and deep containers depending on use.
How to make homemade yogurt:
Milk, and store-bought yogurt... Nani?
You can make your own starter
@@YourMom-ny4ri a good cook knows how to make it from scratch and not from store bought
@@danakarloz5845 I guess Joshua knows this as well. But he wants to provide the easy method people actually are going to try out.
@@E942-h2d it’s easier and cheaper to make your own starter...
@@danakarloz5845 How thoe? Buy and kill a human and take their stomach acid?
I started making yoghurt about a year ago, love that I can make super thick Greek style which usually costs a tonne to buy. Plus I save the strained whey to use when I bake bread!
Cool video!
What would I need to do/get to avoid having to use the starter yoghurt?
Using a packet of Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria (the same culture present in yoghurt) would allow you to go forward without using a starter yoghurt.
I used probiotic capsules before and it worked well
I use two spoons of milk powder to make the yogurt more creamy. I used to make it in Argentina but I didn't know the specific name of the products in English. Thanks!
After your yogurt is made, could you then use a scoop of your homemade yogurt as the "starter" for your next batch?
Nick Scott yes 100%
Joshua Weissman infinite yougurt
@@JoshuaWeissman how long could we store our homemade yoghurt?
@@fitrianhidayat
Until it turns sour.
Jokes aside, when the taste becomes off you toss it. It should be sour enough to repel most bugs, but some can settle in and turn it rancid (esp. if you have high fat yoghurt). Just store it cold and it'll keep for 2 weeks at the very least.
I make yogurt all the time. I find the easiest way is to use a 1 liter wide mouth thermos flask. Just bring the temperature down to 42 degrees, add the starter yogurt, pour into the thermos put on the lid and leave on the counter overnight. Next day transfer to smaller containers straining if you like.
Nut milk is the milk of choice during a quarantine and chill.
I love making my own yogurt!! I use fair life whole milk, it works great! I use my instant pot tho. I just mix it together and press the yogurt button and wait!
When I worked at Starbucks, I called them "alternative milks"
I use my sous vide circulator and mason jars, even less active time, and the temp is always perfect.
One of these days josh is going to ferment himself and have his gf put him for display in a museum dedicated to fermentation.
exc. , just to say, if using uht, no need to heat, just room temperture uht (full cream but semi-skinned can do) + starter yogurt will do. if u want to increase thickness, add 2-3 tbspoon iof milk powder. stir. it will make the greek yogurt thick enough to stand a spoon in. ur first comments r on point...why didn't i did this sooner? also, mix greek yogurt with home made creme freche (buttermilk + double cream, same prep - far superior to store bought creme freche) and add some jam, sugar, OMG - better than ice-cream. creme freche smooths out some of the yogurt's sourness.
Dude, your food is more attractive looking than me
OG Josh and the cupboard ah yeah.
“I used to yogurt to make the yogurt”
Yeah in my greek household we make our tzatziki from scratch. End up with stockings of yoghurt draining in the fridge over a strainer over a bowl, haha. Homemade yoghurt is the best, you should all give it a try. Amazing recipe Joshua!
“Making yogurt from scratch”.
*uses yogurt in the recipe*
You use yogurt or good look finding a place to buy that bacteria you need to make it
you have to buy yogurt only once just to make the first batch and then you're good to go for a while. Unless you find the stomach bacteria to make it. I actually have a video about making yogurt that i go in depth how yogurt was made in the beginning.
@@TattoedKiss You can also use the whey, which is the liquid you get when you strain your yogurt, as a starter. Don't throw that liquid away. There are many uses for it.
There's not a lot of other places to get yogurt cultures, you need the right type of bacteria.
Was just thinking of making a comment like this then went to the section and saw i already did.
Just here to say that i was looking for a yogurt recipe...saw many videos and all were bad...then i remembered that joshua had made such video....i thus appreciate the quality of your content so much now
Can you make a "how to shoot cooking videos?" love your style
Thanks this recipe. I'm waiting my yogurt.
Love this simple recipe. Made honey and vanilla seeds with low fat milk worked well.. Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!
You don't like the phrase of "nut milk" in your mouth.🤔 Anyways when can you add a vanilla bean? Do you have to wait until the finished product or can you slip it in during the 6 hour wait? 😮 I'M SO SORRY! I just used "slip it in" and "nut milk in your mouth" in the same post 🤐. 😎🤗🤗😎
Eric Nathan give both a try and see what you prefer/comes out best. I’d try adding the vanilla when the milk is heated as that’ll extract the most flavour but that might be too intense if it’s in the fermentation - nut who knows‽
man... never delete your channel so i can comeback here and learn how to make it. some channel is wholesome but yours is top quality.
how to make yogurt > step 1: start by adding yogurt....... nice one
benjamin mellingen that was step two
This man is so talented and yet so chill
Still waiting for josh's cookbook
He already has one. It's in his oldest video.
I've tried making this with milk made of milk powder and it works too! Just make sure the powder is totally dissolved, strain the milk before adding the yogurt if you can, or else there will be some tiny grains in the final product.
“I used the yogurt to make the yogurt”
Nice video as always. I use just one tablespoon of yogurt to seed two quarts of whole milk. Then I drain the yogurt for 4-6 hours to get true greek yogurt texture. I have been using my instant pot yogurt feature to heat the milk to 180 F and then again to hold at about 112 F for 8 hours.
Idk I'm not weirded out by "Nut milk" maybe cuz I personally like nuts ....😉 lol and you know its just calling it what it is. Well, really if we wanted to be technical it's not milk it's more like juice, but "Nut juice" is yea "now ya crossing over the line, ya nasty!"
Your content is gold. Can't believe I didn't find this channel earier👌🏽
How to make Yogurt?
Step 1: Add store-bought yogurt to milk...
Jk. I love this recipe.
finished watching all your vids and now i dont know what to do with life. wish i found your channel later so i'd have more to watch! KEEP IT COMING you're absolutely amazing 🔥🔥
That is what we call in arabic : Labne
Hey Josh thanks for the video’s. They are well done and entertaining. Also you give legit measurements so we can stay safe. I make most of all my fermentation things from your videos and I even have combined flavor ideas from one and mended it to another recipe.
I will be making this yogurt today and I am infusing a simple honey.
And again, thank you.
Lol you could call it plant based milk or yogurt 😂 Coyo coconut yogurt is the best Greek style non dairy ever...but expensive.
I know I have to do mental gymnastics everytime I buy it. Like its so good/expensive that I want to make it last long but it goes bad three days after opening so I never know how much I want to eat :(
Yes so true. Just bought Coyo (1kg $10) so going yo give this recipe a go xx
Just one more alternative - I’ve used commercial yogurt makers but then found the easiest possible solution (for me). I put the yogurt into a couple large thermal cups (one is a Yeti, for example), then put those into a grocery store thermal bag. It incubates perfectly. I also sometimes throw in a bit of powdered milk while heating the milk - it makes for a creamier consistency. Cream probably does the same. And whatever yogurt I use as starter, that’s the consistency I’m going to come close to, so I always use Greek yogurt.
How to make homemade yogurt
Step one :get store bought yogurt
we should bring Fermentation Friday back!
“Heavenly Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen
My parents have always done this, we do buy store bought a lot too though. But it's nice to see the accuracy here, because they just mix the yogurt and milk and just leave it to vibe
l love you bro but not as much as that b-roll
I love my instant pot yogurt. I'm cheap so I use store brand whole milk and store brand Greek yogurt (Meijer brand for those in the Midwest). 8 cups milk, 1/2 cup nonfat milk powder, 1 whole 5 oz container of yogurt and incubate for 10 hours. Mine comes out super thick, super smooth and no straining needed. And if I make it often enough to use my previous batch for starter, it gets even better.
Sous vide bath is easy for controlling fermentation temp precisely; can also be used to heat the milk to 180F, then bring back to 109F slowly without the ice bath. Slower, but more hands-off.
I’ve made yogurt from milk straight from the cow. Works fine. Also another place to ferment is a cooler with really warm water at the bottom.
You have an awesome and under-appreciated channel. Great job.
Binge watching your videos since last 2 days! I just love your videos.
I've been making my own yogurt for years using a crockpot. I also recently made sour cream using active culture yogurt and heavy cream. The your was store bought for using as a a starter culture. You can also use this kind of culture to help make aged cheese. Just fyi. You can freeze home made yogurt to have it keep, I haven't yet, but I will next time I make it. I like your recipe though. It's a bit easier than the way I've done it. It's also a way to do it if the crockpot it already in use
Sous vide is also a great option for yogurt making. And for Greek yogurt without straining, use half and half instead of milk -- comes out at Greek yogurt thickness as soon as fermentation is done.
With so many trials and errors, my yogurt is finally PERFECT. First my milk was not heated high enough so that it did not kill bacteria still in the milk and the cow bacteria killed my yogurt culture. And then I added my yogurt culture before my milk was cool enough and that killed my yogurt culture again.
I finally got yogurt. I strained it to make thick Greek style yogurt. I had all that whey. I made pancakes with it, I gave it to my plants, my cats hated it, so I looked up how others do it to enjoy 100 percent thick yogurt.
I learned to incorporate 1 teaspoon cornstarch when mixing my culture together with some milk before adding it to the entire batch. AND it works! I am finally enjoying my yogurt and every drop.
I had really awful heartburn during the pandemic and someone recommended in a comment that I eat more yogurt. My mom hates yogurt so we usually don't have it at home but she was willing to buy it for me. It definitely reduced my heartburn and now I only get it from certain trigger foods which are easy to avoid
Now i do this all the time as i love yogurt but dislike low/no fat versions....try making yogurt with straight heavy cream..a little goes a long way but tastes sweet with a less fermentation i go 5-6 hrs max.strain it and then its thicker..grandson loves it! I add fruit and if i want i use a bit of flavorings..a drop or two or three..add granola..a meal..
OMG...there is video recipe to make curd.
We Indians know this recipe and make it like it's a no brainer. We make it usually every alternate day. Not kidding. Every alternate day.
Anyway, but I like your dedication to do everything at home. Please keep them coming.
Absolutely an amazing guy with so many great skills to "pass on". From the hills of NW PA :)
I just use milk and probiotics then put the mixture in my cheap yoghurt maker... Im definitely going to try this way..😋
This is helping. My town only had UHT milk.
This is so cool. I’m totally the same in the regard of taking pride in making things myself. I’ll try this, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the recipe... However, you have used Skyr (an Icelandic product similar to yogurt very popular in the Nordic countries). Skyr has different bacteria which makes a much thicker product, also it is a bit bitter.
I just love making yogurt at home. This recipe is wonderful and I can have cheap and great quality greek yogurt with this method. I love it! Thanks Josh! :)
Can’t remember if you mentioned this - after that first batch, you can use your own yogurt as the next batch’s starter. After several times, it’s usually good to do a store-bought again (the homemade supposedly weakens after a while, though I’m not positive that’s true).
man I love these videos. i’ve gotten way healthier by fermenting and cooking my own delicious foods. thank you 🙏🏻❤️
I ordered a sous vide cooker (keeps water circulating and at a given temperature) - they say you can put your filled jars underwater with that running as an alternative fermentation station incubator
I do this alot but since I live in a hot climate I just stir the yogurt right into the milk or cream and just set it out and two or three days later I got the best yogurt or sour cream in the world!
