Making yoghurt at home seems
Making yoghurt at home seems to tie in nicely with rising food prices: Hugh has captured the current mood in the UK, as I have found myself making yoghurt again since my favourite no-fat live brand almost doubled in price. However, I can’t manage the temperature monitoring, etc. I have found a foolproof solution for me: use UHT skimmed milk, so there’s no need to pre-heat. I know there are issues surrounding UHT milk, but I have chosen to ignore these! So, 1 litre UHT, 1 tablespoon skimmed milk powder, and I large tablespoon of live yoghurt. Keep warm, then ten hours later, pop it in the fridge for 2 hours, and that’s it.It works out at 1 litre for about 50p, compared with over £1 for 500ml. I use it to extend the yoghurt which I buy, so it’s good value. If I’m honest, it’s so more-ish that I probably eat double the amount of bought yoghurt…
