Hella Delicious 06: Raw Yogurt

Video shows various ways to incubate yogurt. I generally prefer the towel method.

When using raw milk to make yogurt it is best not to heat it too much 118 F will start to destroy the enzymes. I generally heat my milk gently to about 130 or 140 degrees.

I find that it will hold the heat better if you are just using the towel method. If you have an incubator you can just heat the milk to around 120. Raw yogurt will be softer in consistency, unless you heat it to a higher temperature.

Since I am not maintaining the higher temperatures for longer periods of time the milk will retain much more of it's enzymes and whatnot than industrially pasteurized milk.

This is inspired by the book "The Untold Story of Milk" by Ron Schmid. Really shocking stuff.

I love this on a Syrian style rice. It's basiclly rice with clarified butter and pine nuts. but i don't eat white rice anymore.

@busybuzzbuzz hey wow! That sounds familiar, I used to love mixing this into rice with some balachaung (Burmese peanut and onion relish--very yummy). I don't eat white rice anymore either.

can make you make your own culture from scratch using milk and lemon?

[hdelicious]

@oskana00 milk and lemon will make curds and whey, but that is different than the yogurt culture.

I prefer goats milk because I find it easy to digest and I've learned to love the taste it's a bit sweater. I use an egg incubator set at 100F for my yogurt and it works perfectly.

Yeah, goats milk is great, I wish I had my own goat!

[hdelicious]

that looks good! i drink raw cows milk. ive never had raw goats milk before where can i get it?

[hdelicious]

the dog actually belongs to our raw goat milk providers at the M and S Farm in the Catskills, NY..very nice dog

I have found that using one of those airplane blankets is the perfect way to insulate yogurt! It really keeps the heat in just perfectly
