Homemade Liquid yogurt – drinkable yogurt

If you have tried out these two yogurt recipes in my previous post, then you already know how easy it is to make yogurt at home with milk powder and also how rich and tasty it is.
And for our new friends , welcome on board. Believe me , you won’t ever want to buy yougurt from the stores or street vendors ever again once you have tried and tasted this authentic homemade yogurt recipes.

In my previous posts, I showed you how to make thick yogurt with milk powder or powdered milk, and also how to always have yogurt starter to make yogurt anytime.

But today we are going to be making liquid yogurt; the type you drink straight from the bottle, with a straw or if you’re fancy, with a glass cup. Yassss, that one!

It’s actually quite easy and NO FAIL! So here’s how I prepare my homemade liquid yogurt with just 3 to 4 ingredients you already have in your kitchen pantry.

Ingredients for liquid yogurt

• 2 cups(250ml) lukewarm water

• 6 TBSP milk powder

• 60 grm (4 TBSP) Natural yogurt (SEE THIS VIDEO FOR HOW TO MAKE IT)

• 40 grams(3 1/4 TBSP) sugar/sweetener (optional)

• If using liquid milk
• 2 1/2 cups whole milk
• 60 grm (4 TBSP) Natural yogurt
• 40 grams(3 1/4 TBSP) sugar/sweetener(optional)

1. Pour 2 cups(250ml) of lukewarm water into a saucepan and mix in the 6 tablespoonful milk powder.

If you’re making use of whole milk simply pour 2 1/2 cups of that into a saucepan(don’t add water if using whole milk)

2. We’ll also be adding about 3 tablespoons sugar or any sweetener of choice, but feel free to omit it if you want a natural yogurt and mix until combined.

Now we’ll let the mixture heat up until it is just about to boil

The heating helps to sterilize the milk and kill any harmful pathogen

3. So now, we’ll take the milk out of the heat and let it cool to about 44ºC(hot enough that you can deep a finger without getting burnt)

4. The next step is to Mix in 4 tablespoons natural yogurt until well combined

5. Carefully pour the mixture into a container of choice and seal tightly.
(just for convenience in the video I chose to leave mine in the pot)

I also took an extra step and covered it with a huge warm blanket, but you can also seal with a clean plastic bag or foil paper

6. Place anywhere around your house that gets a little heat or in a warm oven or a food/thermo flask. This yogurt needs to stay pretty warm and undisturbed for 6 hrs so that it can set properly so don’t expose it to a high heat or it will turn out grainy.

7. After 6 to 8 hrs you’ll have a slightly thick but runny yogurt, all you need do is stir it properly to make it as runny as the consisitency you desire.

Note: you can save some and use it to start off a new batch , no need to buy yogurt at the stores again.

Serve and Enjoy!
