If you are used to buying all the products you need from a nearby supermarket or grocery store, you may discover that there are some benefits in making certain types of foods in your home. You will save money and probably end up with a diet that is more healthy. As an example, the following instructions will show you how to make raw milk yogurt at home.

You may not have realized how easy it is to prepare this product. You don't need special tools and the cost is much less than when compared to commercially prepared products. All you need is an amount of raw milk and some natural yogurt with live bacteria to use as a starter batch.

The key elements are the dairy product and the starter. Use raw dairy product that has not been subjected to high temperatures. If you want thicker results, use dairy with a higher fat content. The opposite is also true. If you want a thinner results to use as a sauce, reduce the fat content in your base liquid.

You could buy special starter, but it is easier to find live bacteria yogurt in the store for your first batch. You can see the information about the contents by reading the labels carefully. It must be live flora, since this is the key element in changing dairy product to the distinctive product you hope to achieve. It is the flora which produces lactic acid and ultimately changes the nature of the base product.

The process of transforming the liquid into the new tasty product will vary from one individual to the next who begins making the popular food. You should begin by boiling the amount of raw milk long enough to kill off all the unwanted bacteria which might be present. Stir and boil at about 180 degrees F. Let it cool until it is at about 110 degrees F.

When the liquid has reached 110 degrees, a small portion of the natural starter with living bacteria should be mixed in it. The next and most important step from here on is to keep the liquid at this exact temperature. You can do so by either placing the mixture in a jar and leaving it on a warm point of the room, or leaving the mixture in a pot or oven with the capacity to keep the whole at 110 degrees for a couple of hours.

The next step is simply to wait for the bacteria in the mixture to work their magic on the base. 110 degrees is the favored temperature to encourage the living flora to begin producing the critical ingredient of lactic acid. You will need to keep the mixture warm overnight, or for a minimum of four to eight hours. A longer time period will result in a thicker end product.

This is the basic process of how to make raw milk yogurt. It is now complicated or costly. You won't need to pay a high price to get the kind of healthy and tasty results that you can enjoy at any time. The end product is delicious and suitable for a snack or in recipes.
