Why should I make yogurt?
Making yogurt is easy, fast and cheap. Yogurt is full of probiotics, so it helps digestion, the balance of intestinal flora, it boosts the immune system and reduces the risk of infections. Moreover, it provides proteins, vitamins A (which is good for sight) and B, calcium and phosphorus. It’s also very tasty and perfect for breakfast and as a snack.
How to make yogurt?
To make yogurt, you just have to boil some milk and then let it cool down until it’s 50 degrees. You can use the 10 seconds rule to check it’s at the right temperature: put your finger inside the milk and if it’s hot at second 10 it means it’s ready. Then, put some of the milk in a jar and add the same amount of old yogurt (so 50% milk and 50% yogurt) and mix them. You can put the rest of the milk in different jars. After, add 3 spoons of this yogurt and milk mixture inside every jar full of milk. Now, it’s time to let it rest under some dishclothes or even blankets, to keep it warm all night long outside the fridge. In the morning, put it in the fridge. The more it will stay there, the more sour and healthy it will get, as its lactic ferments will increase. Being “pro-yogurt” means “pro-biotics”: this word comes from the Greek “biōtikós”, which means “concerning life”.
So, to improve your life, make some yogurt.
