  • Author: oftenveganadmin

Description

Are you a yogurt lover? Do you want to learn how to make your own delicious and healthy yogurt at home? Look no further! In this article, we'll show you how to make easy and convenient homemade yogurt in an instant pot using simple ingredients and minimal effort.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups of milk (whole, low-fat, or skim)
  • 1/4 cup of plain yogurt (with active cultures)

Instructions

Instructions:

  1. Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 180°F (82°C). Stir the milk occasionally to prevent scorching.

  2. Once the milk reaches 180°F (82°C), remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool down to 110°F (43°C).

  3. Add the 1/4 cup of plain yogurt to the cooled milk and whisk well to combine.

  4. Pour the mixture into a clean, sterilized glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.

  5. Place the jar in a warm place (such as a warm oven or a dehydrator) and let it sit undisturbed for 6-12 hours, or until the yogurt has thickened to your desired consistency.

  6. Once the yogurt has set, transfer the jar to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Tips for Success

  • Be sure to use a high-quality live yogurt culture for the best results.
  • Avoid using ultra-pasteurized milk, as it may not set properly.
  • Don't stir or move the yogurt during incubation, as this can affect the final texture.
  • You can adjust the incubation time to your liking. A longer incubation time will result in a tangier and thicker yogurt.
