How To Make Raw Milk Yogurt In Your Home

By Marissa Velazquez


If you are used to buying all the products you need from a nearby supermarket or grocery store, you may discover that there are some benefits in making certain types of foods in your home. You will save money and probably end up with a diet that is more healthy. As an example, the following instructions will show you how to make raw milk yogurt at home.

Preparing yogurt may sound strange, however it does not need any specific skills nor any ingredients which would be difficult or expensive to buy. The key ingredients which you will need for making a real home made yogurt is milk and a small portion of starter.

The base of the finished substance is, of course, the dairy product. The starter is the other element that must be present. You can use any type of milk except for that which has been subjected to ultra-high temperatures (UHT). Remember that a low fat content amount results in a more watery finished product. More fat content means a more creamy and thick result.

Buy a small carton or container of starter. It must contain living flora in order to be effective in processing the base liquid. You will see the information by reading the label carefully. It is the living flora that produces the product called lactic acid. This element is responsible for turning the base product into the creamy substance suitable for all kinds of healthy recipes.

The start-up process of creating homemade substance is slightly different from individual to individual. In case you start with raw liquid, it is highly recommended to start the whole process by boiling it to kill all the harmful content and bacteria which may cause complications during digestion later on. First, stir the liquid and let it boil at around 180 degrees, then allow it to slowly cool down to around 110 degrees.

Once the dairy liquid has dropped to the 110 degree F level, you can mix in a small amount of the live culture starter. Place the mixture in a container and maintain the temperature for at least two hours. Placing the container in a temperature controlled location is simple. Use an oven or temperature regulated appliance.

The next step is simply to wait for the bacteria in the mixture to work their magic on the base. 110 degrees is the favored temperature to encourage the living flora to begin producing the critical ingredient of lactic acid. You will need to keep the mixture warm overnight, or for a minimum of four to eight hours. A longer time period will result in a thicker end product.

This is how to make raw milk yogurt at home. It doesn't require any unique knowledge nor any special or unique ingredients. Simply leave a small portion of yogurt to work the raw milk until the whole eventually becomes a yogurt.
