CHOICE OF INGREDIENTS FOR YOGURT

Milk

What milk should you use?

All our recipes (unless otherwise stated) are prepared using cow's milk. You can use plant milk such as soya milk. As well as sheep or goat's milk but, in this case, the firmness of the yogurt may vary depending on the milk used. Raw milk or long-life milks and all the milks described below are suitable for your appliance:

- Long-life sterilised milk: UHT whole milk results in firmer yogurt. Using semi-skimmed milk will result in less firm yogurt. However, you can use semi-skimmed milk and dissolve 2 - 5 tablespoons of dried skimmed milk powder per 1 litre of milk to give a thicker consistency.

- Pasteurised milk:

Whole milk give a more creamy yogurt with a little bit of skin on the top. Semi-skimmed and

skimmed milk will result in a fluid consistency yogurt. Pasteurised milk still contains some heat-resistant germs not eliminated by pasteurisation. It must be boiled first, cooled to hand-hot (36 C) and then strained through a fine sieve to remove any skin, before making yogurt. For a thicker consistency yogurt, before boiling the milk add 2 to 5 tablespoon dried skimmed milk powder per 1 litre of milk.

- Untreated milk (farm milk): It is essential this type of milk is boiled for a long time and it is dangerous not to do this. After boiling let it cool down to 36 C before making yogurt the sieve to remove the skin. Using yogurt made form untreated farm milk as a culture starter is not recommend..

- Powdered milk:

Using skimmed milk powder reconstituted with water will

result in very creamy yogurt. Follow the manufacturer's, instructions on reconstitution.

The ferment

Use one of the following ferments:

- One small pot (100 g - 150 g) shop-bought natural yogurts with the longest expiry date possible; your yogurt will therefore contain more active ferment for a firmer yogurt. - From a freeze-dried ferment. In this case, follow the activation time specified on the ferment instructions. You can find these ferments in supermarkets, pharmacies and in certain health product stores. (For the UK: Freeze dried ferment is only available online and in some health food shops) - From one of your recently prepared yogurt – this must be natural and recently prepared. This is called culturing. After five culturing processes, the yogurt

used loses active ferments and therefore risks giving a less firm consistency. You then need to start again using a shopbought yogurt or freeze-dried ferment.

If you have boiled the milk, wait until it has reached room temperature before adding the ferment. Too high a heat may destroy the properties of your ferment.

Fermentation time

- Your yogurt will need between 6 and 12 hours of fermentation, depending on the basic ingredients and the result you are after.

- Once the yogurt heating process is finished, the yogurt should be cooled completely, covered with cling film or lid and placed in a refrigerator for at

least 4 hours or preferably longer. They can be kept max 7 days in refrigerator. Yogurts with jam or additional ingredients will keep up to 3 days.

A clear liquid (whey) may form on top of the yogurt and this is best stirred back in. Alternatively, you can pour it off.
