Make yoghurt
To make yoghurt, you will need either
fresh live yoghurt or yoghurt culture,
obtainable from health food shops.
Use natural yoghurt with live culture and
without additives. Heat-treated yoghurt
is not suitable.
The yoghurt must be fresh (short
storage time).
You can use either unchilled long-life
milk or fresh milk.
Long-life milk can be used as it is – no
further preparation is required. Fresh
milk must first be heated to 90°C (do
not boil it) and then cooled down to
35°C. Fresh milk will give a better set
than long-life milk.
The yoghurt and milk should have the
same percentage fat.
Do not move or shake the jars whilst
the yoghurt is thickening.
Immediately after preparation, leave the
yoghurt to cool in the fridge.
How well home-prepared yoghurt sets
will depend on the consistency, fat
content and the cultures used in the
starter yogurt. Not all yoghurts are
suitable for use as starter yoghurt.
Tip: When using yoghurt enzyme,
yoghurt can be made from a milk /
cream mixture. Mix³/₄litre milk
with¹/₄litre cream.
Mix 100g yoghurt with 1l milk or
make up the mixture with yoghurt
enzyme, following the instructions on
the packaging.
Pour the mixture into jars and seal the
jars.
Place the sealed jars into a perforated
cooking container or on the rack. The
jars must not touch each other.
Straight after the cooking duration
has finished, place the jars in the
refrigerator. Take care not to shake
the jars unnecessarily.

Possible reasons for unsatisfactory
results
Yoghurt has not set:
Incorrect storage of starter yoghurt, too
much time out of the refrigerator, e.g. in
transportation, damaged packaging,
milk not sufficiently heated.
Liquid has separated:
The jars were moved, yoghurt was not
cooled down quickly enough.
Yoghurt is gritty:
Milk was overheated or in poor
condition, milk and starter yoghurt not
evenly stirred.
