Are you a fan of yogurt? Not only is it a healthy food, but it also has the ability to improve your skin. So why not try making yogurt at home to enjoy its benefits and the fresh taste without any preservatives or artificial colors?
Ingredients and Tools Needed
Ingredients:
- 3 bags of unsweetened yogurt (each bag is 220ml)
- 190g of condensed milk (equivalent to half a can)
- 1 jar of unsweetened yogurt (about 120g)
Tools:
- Air fryer
- Glass jar
- Pot
How to Make Yogurt
Step 1: Heat the Fresh Milk and Condensed Milk
First, pour the mixture of fresh milk and condensed milk into a pot. Heat it on the stove and stir until the mixture is lightly boiling. Then, turn off the heat and let it cool to about 40-50 degrees Celsius.
Step 2: Add Yogurt Starter and Condensed Milk to the Pot
Before pouring the yogurt starter into the milk mixture, stir the yogurt starter to avoid clumps and ensure a smoother yogurt. When the temperature of the milk mixture in the pot reaches 40-50 degrees Celsius, pour in the yogurt starter and stir well.
Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer
Next, turn on the air fryer and let it reach a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes, then turn it off.
While waiting for the air fryer to heat up, you can pour the yogurt into glass jars to save time.
Step 4: Incubate the Yogurt
Place the prepared jars of yogurt into the air fryer and incubate for about 2 hours. After 2 hours, turn on the air fryer at 80 degrees Celsius for 1 minute, then turn it off. Leave the yogurt in the air fryer for at least 4 hours or overnight for a tangy and thick yogurt.
Important Notes
-
To ensure perfect yogurt, it is necessary to sterilize all the tools used, especially the glass jars. Cleaning the tools ensures that there are no bacteria, resulting in good quality yogurt without any slimy texture, thin consistency, incorrect color (green/yellow), unpleasant smell, or bitter taste.
-
A simple way to sterilize the tools is to rinse the condensed milk can with about 50ml or 1.5 cans of boiling water before use. Then, you can pour the condensed milk into the mixture right away. However, it is important to adjust the amount of rinsing water appropriately to avoid making the yogurt too watery.
-
If you want your yogurt to have a beautiful yellow crust, you can use hot water to dissolve a piece of cheese and pour it into the milk mixture.
-
During the incubation process, try to avoid moving or touching the jars of yogurt to prevent any disturbance to the yogurt’s solidification process. This helps to avoid water separation or breakage during incubation.
With these tips and steps, you can make high-quality yogurt at home that is hygienic and full of delightful flavors.
The Fruity and Tasty Outcome
After incubation, the yogurt will have a perfect consistency, smooth texture, and won’t spill when flipped. This indicates a successful fermentation process, resulting in the desired thickness.
To add variety and excitement to your yogurt, you can add additional ingredients such as fresh fruits, preserves, fruit juices, or nuts and seeds. This will enhance the flavor and offer a new experience for your taste buds. Fresh fruits will provide freshness and sweetness, while preserves will bring intense sweetness and smoothness. Additionally, you can also try combining yogurt with different types of legumes, grains, or cereals to boost nutrition and diversify your menu.
With the addition of extra ingredients, yogurt becomes a nutritious and enticing dish with a variety of flavors. Be creative and explore new combinations to enjoy a truly special and delightful yogurt experience.
