The process of making yogurt is as simple as it is rewarding. Begin by gently heating the milk, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. As it warms, whisk in the cornstarch until completely dissolved. This step is crucial for achieving that dreamy thickness.
Once the milk and cornstarch mixture is warm (but not boiling), remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. You’re aiming for a temperature that’s warm to the touch but not hot, as too much heat can harm the precious bacteria in our yogurt starter.
When the temperature is just right, whisk in the yogurt. This is where the magic begins. The yogurt introduces live cultures into the warm milk, setting off a wonderful transformation.
Now, pour the mixture into a container, cover it, and find a cozy spot for it to rest undisturbed. This is where patience comes in. The mixture needs time to ferment, slowly turning into the thick, creamy yogurt you’ve been dreaming of.
The Final Reveal
After 8 to 12 hours, the moment of truth arrives. Gently uncover your creation and behold the thick, creamy yogurt, ready to be savored. Its texture, akin to stone in its firmness, yet delightfully creamy, is a testament to the simple yet effective secret you’ve unlocked.
