Makes 800mls
You will need a kitchen thermometer and either one large or two small sterilised jars.
Method
Heat the milk gently in a saucepan until it reaches 85°C. Remove from the heat and allow the milk to cool to 43°C. This will take about 15 minutes. Stir the ‘live’ yogurt into the cooled milk and pour the liquid into sterilised jars. Cover the jar and set aside in a warm place such as an airing cupboard for about 8 hours. The yogurt should then be set. It can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
Tip
To flavour yogurt – This yogurt is delicious unsweetened. It can be flavoured with a few drops of vanilla essence and a dribble of maple syrup. You can also stir in raspberry or strawberry jam.
