    That tip to keep/hold the milk at 180 deg. F for 15-30 minutes was a key tip for me. As far as I've seen, you're the only yogurt foodie that has suggested this. Before I tried this, I was getting batches that tasted delicious, but were kinda gritty/grainy in texture. The first batch I did following this tip, I got a very thick, perfectly smooth batch of yogurt. I'm celebrating! 😄

    We make yogurt every week and use it daily. One point I want to make is that the more you boil milk, the more creamy and thick the yogurt will come out. It has to be a long boil at low flame to avoid burn out at the bottom. How much you want to boil is a matter of taste.

    I leave the milk in the quart jar. Stick it in a pot of boiling water with a jar holder. Take it out at 180 and cool on the counter. Add starter, cover and wrap in a towel with rubber band. I put the jar in a small inexpensive cooler. I don’t like risking scalding the milk.

  • @HeatherNaturaly

    That information on freezing the starter was very useful to me. I don't eat enough yogurt to be making it every few days or even weekly and the results from using an older batch is nasty slimy textured yogurt. I have had frozen sour cream and it is destroyed by freezing it, so I was loth to freeze my yogurt starter. Great information!

  • @theirishmammy

    I have used a thermos to incubate my yoghurt and it works perfect. Now I use my dehydrator and I can make bigger batches. I also use store bought organic jersey milk which makes super delicious, thick yoghurt but we are spoiled with high quality dairy produce here in Ireland 😋. I think the higher the cream levels, the thicker the yoghurt. I’ve found using raw milk and only heating it to 110 degrees makes a thin yoghurt which isn’t to my taste so I recommend definitely heating it to 180.

    • @MelissaKNorris
      @MelissaKNorris  3 года назад +2

      I've tested different temps and hands down the 180 produces the thick yogurt 😊

    • @SuperSaltydog77
      @SuperSaltydog77 Год назад

      I heat my milk to 180°-185° for 1 to 2 minutes. Then incubate for 8 hours. Into the fridge to cool completely, then line a strainer with paper coffee filters and drain out the whey. Always makes very thick yogurt

    • @MelissaKNorris
      @MelissaKNorris  3 года назад +3

      I would add it to the finished yogurt so your culture doesn't have vanilla in it. I think the scraped bean for a vanilla bean yogurt would be pretty flavorful or making a vanilla sugar and then adding it

      You can absolutely use raw milk but you'll still be needing to heat it to the 180 degrees then cooling to 110 before adding the culture. And yes you can use 1/4 cup or so of store bought yogurt with no additives as long as it says live culture

    I have a question for you. How do you figure the protein and sugar per batch? I as because I'm reactive hypoglycemic. Meaning if I have sugar, my blood sugar goes up, then drops. I currently eat 2Good yogurt that has 2 grams of sugar, but 6 grams of protein. I'm very interested in making my own at home.

    QUESTION :: Will the yogurt continue to thicken in the fridge?
    I am assuming this makes "plain" yogurt -- so it can be used as a sour cream substitute, drained 12 hours to make a form of Greek yogurt or longer (24 hours) to make a cream cheese substitute, right?
    I would never have believed that was how to make yogurt! It seems so easy.
    That is whole milk? 2%? 1%? -- could I use reconstituted dry milk or buttermilk -- or even powdered goat milk?
    I don't buy much yogurt anymore, but I want to try the draining option to make a "mock" cream cheese. :-)

    • @MelissaKNorris
      @MelissaKNorris  2 года назад

      I only buy and use whole milk, 2% and 1% will work but they don't tend to be as thick without straining. I haven't tried powdered and buttermilk is already cultuted with a mesophilic culture (yogurt is thermaphilic) so I wouldn't use it due to competing different cultures. Mine doesn't get much thicker in the fridge, slightly, as it's pretty thick when it goes in
