YOGURT by haimapatel
The best probiotic is in yogurt!
My homemade yogurt is part of our dinner daily. Just a few spoonfuls are good for the gut. Mixed with rice, or just as a side with any dish.
Ingredients:
- Half gallon milk (can be full fat or half or 2% or even fat free).
- 3 tablespoons plain yogurt with probiotic (GOPI yogurt is a good one). Keep it out of fridge for about 10 minutes.
Method:
- Heat oven to 110° Fahrenheit.
- Boil milk on stovetop until you see bubbles forming on the surface.
- Cool pan in ice water to 110° Fahrenheit. (Thermometer is handy.)
- Add 3 tablespoons of plain yogurt and whisk it in. Electric whisk does better.
- Pour into a stainless steel or glass container and place in oven.
- Turn off oven and keep oven light on overnight.
- In the morning, take out of oven and set aside for about half hour before putting in fridge.
- Consume over next few days until you are down to 3 tablespoons and make again using this culture.
Much cheaper and healthier than buying ready made plain yogurt!
