I picked up my "raw milk" this week from a farmer on Wadmalaw Island. To be exact - I picked up 9 gallons of this liquid gold. It costs $7.50 per gallon, but it is totally worth that investment (more on that later). So, I am making homemade yogurt tonight.
Recipe:
(1) Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
(2) Pour one gallon (or half gallon) of organic milk into an oven-safe pot.
(3) Mix in 1 cup store-bought, whole milk, plain yogurt (Organic Seven Stars is the best) or a packet of yo-gourmet (which is a powdered yogurt starter that you can buy at Whole Foods).
(4) Turn off oven. Let yogurt sit inside oven overnight.
(5) When you wake up, you will have ready to eat yogurt.
*Save a cup of this homemade yogurt and substitute as your starter for the next batch. You will never have to buy store bought, pectin-enhanced, slimy yogurt again. ENJOY!
Notes:
- Do not use an aluminum pot for your yogurt.
- Do not use ultra-pasteurized milk. Normal pasteurization makes fine yogurt, but the ultra pasteurized milk doesn't have the right composition for yogurt making. And, definitely use organic milk.
- My kids eat this daily with Aunt CC's homemade granola recipe. This recipe will be on my blog soon.
- Book Source: Just ordered the book The Untold Story of Milk. I hear this book will help me break my Starbucks habit - as Starbucks does not offer Organic milk for their lattes.
