Publicado: Apr 3, 2020 · Modificado: Sep 9, 2023 Por Angela Giraldo · 671 Palabras · 4 minutos de lectura

We're introducing you to the perfect formula to make homemade yogurt, in a very simple way and without much fuss. So, stick around and let's prepare this delicious recipe together.
JUMP TO RECIPE

Yogurt is a dairy product obtained through bacterial fermentation of milk. Any type of milk can be used, though cow's milk is commonly used today. The fermentation of lactose into lactic acid gives yogurt its texture and flavor. Sometimes flavorings like chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, among others, are added to the milk, but it can also be made without any added flavor.

Making homemade yogurt is very simple. By preparing it ourselves, not only is it more economical, but we can also control its production process and make it to our liking.

One reason I decided to prepare homemade yogurt is because I love dairy products, and among them, yogurt stands out. It quickly adapts to various roles in my kitchen and offers excellent health benefits.

If yogurt is consumed in ideal amounts, we can absorb all its calcium and reduce our cholesterol levels. The best part is that this food can be consumed on its own or used in many kitchen recipes. It can be paired with granola, fruits, cereals – it's all about creativity and daring combinations.

I believe there's nothing better than homemade products. Although store-bought items save us time, we often don't know their origin. Trying homemade versions is worth it, as many of our recipes are straightforward, and this homemade yogurt is no exception.

How to achieve the perfect consistency in strawberry homemade yogurt?

The consistency depends on the amount of milk you use. For a thicker yogurt, use ½ liter of milk; for a more fluid texture, use 1 liter. Ensure you mix all the ingredients well for a uniform texture.

Can I use other types of fruits for making yogurt?

Absolutely. Strawberry yogurt is just one of many options. You can replace strawberries with peaches, blueberries, mangoes, etc. Just follow the same preparation instructions, adjusting the sugar to taste.

What type of milk should I use for strawberry yogurt?

You can use whole or skim milk, depending on your preferences and dietary needs. Whole milk will provide a creamier taste and texture, while skim milk will yield a lighter result with less fat.

What's the role of natural yogurt in the recipe?

Natural yogurt serves as a fermenting agent. It contains live, active bacteria that help ferment the milk into yogurt. Mixing the natural yogurt with warm milk activates the bacteria, initiating the fermentation process.

How should I store the yogurt properly?

To store the homemade strawberry yogurt, keep it in an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh and delicious for 5 to 7 days.

Tips and Tricks

Ensure you sterilize glass or plastic containers before pouring the mixture.
If you prefer less sweet yogurt, you can use a natural sweetener like stevia instead of sugar.
For a stronger strawberry flavor, add a few drops of strawberry essence.

Common mistakes when making yogurt

  • Not sterilizing containers properly, affecting fermentation and yogurt quality.
  • Not maintaining a stable temperature during rest, resulting in improper fermentation.
