Method

  • step 1

    Tip the milk into the slow cooker. Cover and heat on High until the temperature of the milk reaches 82C, this will take a couple of hours. Turn off the slow cooker and allow the temperature to drop to 43C for a further 2-3 hours. Take a mugful of the warm milk and mix it with the yogurt then pour the mixture back into the slow cooker and stir really well. Cover, wrap the slow cooker in a big towel and then leave undisturbed for 9-12 hours until the mixture has set.

  • step 2

    Eat on top of cereal or porridge, topped with fresh fruit, in marinades or drink in smoothies. If you want it thicker, for dips for example, line a large sieve with muslin and place it over a bowl, tip in the yogurt and allow some of the whey to strain off until you get the consistency of yogurt that you like. The longer you leave it, the thicker it will become. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

question

I'm calorie counting at the moment so the nutrition information is really helpful, but what mass do you consider a "serving"?

question

If I use UHT milk can I skip the initial high temperature and just heat to 43°C?

question

How do you make this if you don’t have a slow cooker please

shreddies

I use a thermos pot (the wide necked ones you use for soup). I use the pot to measure enough milk to almost fill it (leaving enough room for the live yogurt and the lid to go back on). Then I transfer the milk to a pan and heat it on the hob whilst stirring and measuring the temperature. Get it up…

question

I’m new to this and want to make my first batch. What is live yogurt for the starter culture? Is it the same as supermarket natural yogurt?

Look for the words 'live cultures' on the pot. Yeo natural has one which i use. Hope this helps.
