THE VITAMIN LADY MAKES YOGHURT 
The Cow Share Program-access to your raw milk legally – http://www.stewardshipcommunity.org/folders/newsletter/articles/real_milk_campaign.htm
- 2 quarts milk – I use whole. In fact, I get my milk direct from the cow.
- 1 cup non-instant, non-fat dry milk
- Yoghurt culture
- Probiotic capsules ( optional)
Scald the milk in a CLEAN saucepan. (any bacteria anywhere during the process will cause the yoghurt not to set)
Scald means “bring just to boiling point”
Using a blender or egg-beater ( or following the principal used to make glue out of flour & water: i.e., making a paste and then adding the rest of the liquid gradually) add the dry milk to the scalded milk.
Cool to blood temperature. This is where a little run over your wrist from a spoon feels neither hot nor cold.
Add the required amount of culture. I use Yogourmet, which for 2 quarts means 2 sachets.
-
At this point , if you want to spike the probiotic content,
add also the capsule of pro-biotic of choice, I use Jarrodophilus. This is just to spike the probiotic content.
Pour into 2 CLEAN HOT quart jars.
Now you have several choices:
-
if you have a gas oven with a pilot light, perfect.
-
Or, you can plug a 40 watt bulb in to an extension cord, and run that in to the unlit electric oven
-
Or set a heating pad at low.
Whatever your choice, you are looking to maintain a low, steady temperature for anywhere from 4 to 8 hours.
-
I wrap my jars in a towel, and set them on the heating pad.
-
Do not move them or expose them to light during this period.
-
When it is set, refrigerate.
Add any of the following, bran, flax, walnuts, or your own preserves.
ENJOY!
