Whip Up Your Own Vanilla Yogurt:  Indulge in Sustainable Deliciousness

• 4 cups of organic or locally-sourced milk (dairy or plant-based) • 1/2 cup of plain organic or dairy-free yogurt (with live active cultures) • 1 to 2 tablespoons of pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste (ensure it’s from an eco-friendly brand)

Ingredients :

STEP 1 : Prepare the Milk

Pour the milk into the saucepan and set it over medium heat. Use the thermometer to monitor the temperature. Heat the milk until it reaches 180°F .

STEP 2 : Cool the Milk

Allow the milk to cool down to 110°F (43°C). You can speed up this process by placing the saucepan in a cold water bath.

STEP 3 : Add the Yogurt Starter

In a small bowl, mix the plain yogurt with a few tablespoons of the cooled milk. Whisk it until smooth. Add this mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk.

STEP 4 : Flavor the Milk

Add the vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste to the milk mixture and whisk it well to combine.

STEP 5 : Incubate

Pour the mixture into the yogurt maker or a container. If you’re using a container, place it in a warm area to maintain a constant temperature (around 110°F or 43°C) for 4 to 8 hours. The longer it incubates, the thicker and tangier the yogurt will be.

STEP 6 : Chill

Once the incubation is done, transfer the container to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

STEP 7 : Serve and Enjoy

Your eco-friendly vanilla yogurt is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it as is, or with your favorite sustainable toppings.
