We wanted to make our own yogurt- namely because organic yogurt was so much expensive than organic milk- so my husband went out and bought a yogurt maker. A yogurt machine is basically a warming hut for yogurts (you can make yogurt without one, but it's more difficult). The recipe: you add a culture or simply a spoonful or two of leftover yogurt to every jar, mix it with milk and leave it to culture the milk overnight. Original content here: faircompanies.com

The nightly yogurt-making ritual (with yogurt maker)

For breakfast people, couldn't you use a solar system and "cook" the yogurt during the day and let it chill overnight?
ReplyDeleteLike if you gathered solar heat (not the UV light which kills good and bad bugs) to heat the yogurt instead of using light?
They're speaking Catalan. It's a language derived from Latin so it does have similarities to Portuguese.
ReplyDeleteLovely video. The language spoken is quite similar to Portuguese. Which is it?

In my family my father also do homemade yogurt,but we don't use milk from the store and don't use a machine. My father go to a village near our town and there buys a real milk and make the half of it to yogurt.He just wrap the jars with blanket for warm. You don't actualy need a yogurt maker. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't heated, but it wasn't cold from the refrigerator because the milk we use is irradiated milk (the standard in Europe). I know some people warm their milk first, but I believe we've used it from the refrigerator before and it's worked fine.
ReplyDeleteI am curious about the milk added...was it heated before adding or was it cold from the refrigerator?
ReplyDeleteAh-ha, ha! Naughty!
ReplyDeleteGreat point. We eat them at lunch and dinner so they're chilled enough by then. I hadn't thought of people who eat yogurt for breakfast. Though you just need about 8 hours so you could just start your cycle after lunch or whenever you eat your last yogurt and then take them out and chill them overnight. Or as you say, if you have enough glass jars you could just make two batches.
ReplyDeleteAre they not warm in the morning? Surely you'd need two batches on the go, one chilled from the previous day... :)
ReplyDeleteI have a nightly yogurt-making ritual as well, if you know what i mean...
ReplyDelete;P
Simple, clear, and creative way of teaching us how to make yogurt, so much so that even a child can learn. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely Video!
