Yogurt Tutorial

Wait! Before you roll your eyes and say "I can't make yogurt" or "I have no yogurt maker" read over my tutorial and you will see yogurt is very easy to make without a commercial yogurt maker!  I always thought it was a big deal but since I've been making my own I found out it's not that difficult. I like to make lots so when I was learning to make it I found several different recipes and took a bit of information from each of them and created my own. Because I use skim milk my yogurt isn't quite as creamy as you would get from the store but you can use whole milk if you like it creamier. As I've often said I am not a "precise" measuring kind a gal, but follow my guidelines somewhat and you'll end up with two 1 kilogram containers of very nice tasting yogurt :) And if you use skim milk it's fat free, a girls gotta keep her girlish figure, ya know.

Step 1 Ingredients

1 1/2 cups skim milk powder
6 cups skim milk
1 cup distilled water, bottled water, or RO (reverse osmosis) water
1/3 to 2/3 cup starter (plain yogurt with active cultures)
Start with a large measuring cup, mine is 8 cups in size.
Do not use any aluminum utensils and everything must be very clean!

So what does aluminium do?

The acid in the yogurt will react with the aluminum is what I've read.

I love your photography style. I wonder if there's a more compelling shot you could use as a main image? I think there's a lot of really useful information here and would love to help this get as many clicks as possible.

I'll go through and see what I can change it to. :)
