HOW TO USE SUGGESTION

Creating a homemade yogurt using the above-described starter cultures is a rewarding process. Here’s a basic recipe that you can adapt based on the specific culture (Casei, Reuteri, or Bulgaricus) you choose to use. This recipe is designed for a small batch of yogurt, perfect for experimenting with the different cultures.

 

Homemade Yogurt Recipe Using Starter Culture Capsules

Bulgaricus (White Capsules)

Reuteri (Yellow Capsules)

Casei (Orange Capsules)

 

Ingredients:

– 1 liter of milk (whole milk for creaminess, but 2%, skimmed, or plant-based alternatives work too)

– 1 capsule of yogurt starter culture (Casei, Reuteri, or Bulgaricus)

 

Equipment:

– Medium-sized pot

– Thermometer

– Whisk

– Yogurt maker or oven with a low-temperature setting

– Sterilized glass jars with lids

 

Instructions:

Preparation:

Heat the milk in a pot on the stove to 85°C (185°F) to pasteurize it, ensuring the yogurt sets correctly.

Let the milk cool to 43°C (110°F), the optimal temperature for activating the cultures.

Inoculate the Milk:

Open the chosen culture capsule and slowly pour the contents into the warm milk while stirring gently with a whisk to avoid the formation of lumps and to evenly distribute the culture.

Incubation:

Pour the inoculated milk into your sterilized jars. Place the jars in the yogurt maker and incubate following the machine’s instructions, typically 8-36 hours. If using an oven, maintain a steady temperature of 43°C (110°F).

The incubation time affects tartness and thickness. Begin checking at 8 hours for your preferred consistency and taste.

Cooling:

After incubation, refrigerate the jars (covered) for few hours to thicken the yogurt.

Serving: Really?

 

Final Note on Making Yogurt:

 Starter Culture Reuse: Reserve a few tablespoons of your yogurt batch to use as a starter for your next batch. Homemade yogurt can typically serve as a starter for 2-3 batches before a new culture capsule is needed. It’s crucial to maintain sterility throughout this process to prevent the introduction of undesirable bacteria which can affect the quality of your yogurt.

Exploring Flavors and Textures: The type of capsule you choose (Casei, Reuteri, or Bulgaricus) can subtly alter the yogurt’s flavor profile and texture. We encourage you to experiment with each type to discover your preferred taste. All our starters include Lb. bulgaricus to enhance the yogurt’s consistency, as Reuteri and Casei alone may lead to more whey separation, which some might find undesirable.

Probiotic Benefits: Each of our yogurt cultures can be consumed for their probiotic benefits, just as all our probiotic strains are suitable for use in making yogurt. This versatility offers a wonderful opportunity to incorporate beneficial bacteria into your diet in a way that best suits your lifestyle and taste preferences.
