Dietary Meal: Homemade Yogurt in 6 steps

We were planning to go Korea for pre wedding photoshoot, and my husband think that he should slim down and I am also happy to prepare for his dietary meal. So we actually did achieve to lose 5KG in two week. For breakfast he ate oats, dietary lunch and homemade yogurt for dinner.

But now we are not sure whether we could go as the MERS breakout. Really hopefully that the condition get better, the vaccine is out and everything okay.

Singapore is a very busy country, everybody is busy with their work, after their filling lunch/ dinner, they continue to sit in front of their desk and work. So, controlling our diet is very very important. Moreover, because of busy schedule, most of us tends to take away our meal from outside (not home cooked). We do not know how much salt and oil did they put in it.

Anyway, here are the homemade yogurt recipe, it is very super duper easy to do and could save a lot alot of money.

Ingredient
1 L of milk
(any milk, fresh milk will do a thicker yogurt, where full cream milk and skimmed milk will be slightly lighter and low fat milk will be runnier)
62.5 grams of yogurt starter
(you can buy it at NTUC, Cold Storage, Giant or any store that sell "plain" yogurt with "live active culture" words in it. This is very important)

Tools
1 candy thermometer (can be bought at Poon Huat Singapore for $26+)
1 Pot
1 Spatula
1 Jar (to keep your yogurt, plastic container will also work)

Steps
1. Sterilize all equipment with hot boiled water to kill the bacteria
   (this is very important as bad bacteria will cause yogurt fail to set up)
2. Pour milk to the pot and cook in low fire until 185F
   (use very small fire will make the yogurt smoother, and off the fire once hit 185F)
3. Continue stir the milk until the heat drop to 115F
   ( u can try it under the fan or with ice bath)
4. Add yogurt starter and mixed into the milk
   (do not hardly beat the milk)
5. Pour the milk to the Jar (plastic container also can) and cover it with very thick towel to incubate.
   (yogurt temperature must not be below 110F when incubate)
6. Keep it aside for 4 hours and refrigerate it before serving.


That's all you made a great yogurt.

TIPS

Casey eat the yogurt for dinner with the measurement of
250grams yogurt, 30-45grams of muesli/granola, 30 grams of berries.
(sometimes i will add more muesli/granola for him, if he looks very hungry :D:D)

For better taste, you can buy muesli/ granola from any supermarket and berries.
Granola is crunchier and sweeter compared to muesli but contains slightly higher fats.
You can also option to add some sugar free fruit jam for the taste or honey for sweeter yogurt.

My recipe above is sugar free homemade yogurt, so it taste slightly sour.
If you incubate your yogurt more than 4 hours, the taste will be more and more sour compared as 4 hours. (basically if you incubate the yogurt longer, the taste will be more sour)

You can make greek yogurt by pacing your yogurt after incubating on top of cheese cloth (you can buy it at any baking store. It will drop out the whey/ kinda water. So the yogurt will be thicker and made a greek yogurt.


Hope you enjoy :)
