Yogurt Success

Yeah!!!

My starter yogurt was past it's date - okay it was well past its date...

It tasted fine, smelled fine, looked fine but apparently those little active cultures only last so long.

I went out yesterday and bought a new yogurt starter and success!!

The recipe I used:

4 cups of water

1 3/4 cup dry milk powder

mix well and bring up to 180 degrees (I used a candy thermometer)

allowed to cool to 95 - 100 degrees (again candy thermometer)

whisked in two rounded tablespoons of starter yogurt

(with billions of active live cultures and probiotics)

placed in a warm spot for five hours

I have read that you can freeze the starter yogurt in ice cube trays and then when its time to make yogurt again just  thaw a cube or two.

I don't know if this is true or not??

I think I will give it a try though. I love yogurt and it is so healthy for your system.

Happy Day,
