One of our most satisfying foods is homemade yogurt. It's super easy with an Instapot and yogurt strainer. We've made yogurt with a pot and cheesecloth but it does take more time and labor. Of course, there is nothing wrong with doing so, we prefer to trade-off that time to do other things.
Below are the ingredients, instructions and kitchen tools to make truly amazing yogurt. 🤬
1) Large instapot with yogurt setting for 8 hours 30 mins
2) 1-2 gallons of good quality ultra pasteurized milk
* Jennifer and I use Homeland Creamery - Heavy Cream
- this is not Ultra pasteurized but it works great for us
3) We let the Yogurt cool down inside the Instapot for an hour
4) Afterwards we pour the Yogurt into the Yogurt strainer
5) We refrigerate the Yogurt and let the whey^^ drain to the bottom of the strainer for 2-3 days.
6) We stir the Yogurt once per day before we eat it
^^ whey is the liquid leftover after draining the Yogurt. Jen and I enjoy using whey for making: French Toast, Scrambled Eggs, Healthy Shakes, Dog Food Meals and Snacks, and many other uses.
