We made a fresh batch of yogurt last night. It had been a long while since we made a large batch so I took the opportunity to document this with my phone camera. Here are the simple steps in making the probiotic using a commercial product as starter:
- Use whole milk. I used a powdered whole milk that I bought from the bakery supply store at P125
per kilogram. I mixed 1 cup of the whole milk in 4 cups purified water and blended it thoroughly.
- Heat the blended milk up to 55 degrees Celsius. I bought my thermometer at Rose Pharmacy for about P60.00.
- Blend in the commercial yogurt preparation that can be bought at the cold section of any supermarket here in Iloilo City. Use the plain “Creamy” type, not the fruit blends.
- Immediately transfer to a small styropore ice chest. If needed, add warm water heated at 60 degrees Celsius around the base of the yogurt container (outside). Be sure your styropore ice chest doesn't leak.
- Wait overnight and you'll have about 1 liter of yogurt in the morning. It's a perfect yogurt, sourish sweet. You can add fruits or dilute it for a yogurt drink. Each serving of 125 grams will cost you about P10.00, very much cheaper than the commercial which is P29.00.
