I
visited my parents for a weekend recently, and I made them a batch of yogurt. I
tried out the double boiler method to prevent the the milk from burning and sticking to the bottom of the pot. They
have a larger supply of pots than I do, so it was a good place to try this! I
did stir the milk occasionally, but I never once began to feel burnt milk
building up on the bottom. This definitely is a good idea in order
to make yogurt-making a more hands-off project. I left the milk on
the stove, and whenever I happened to pass through the kitchen, I stirred it. Once I inoculated it with starter yogurt, I
left the milk incubating between two pots of boiling water covered in towels
and went back home. I asked my mother to put it in the fridge the next morning.
But before she did, she added it to her breakfast smoothie! After the yogurt was transferred to a container, I received a report that there was no burnt milk stuck to the bottom.

All this talk about yogurt has got me thinking about alternatives. I get loads of tummy cramps when I eat dairy. Three-and-a-half weeks ago, in the afternoon, prior to lupper, I sampled some coconut kefir lumps at my local Costco. It is objectively the best! alternative to yogurt. It's rich and creamy yet subtly sweet. Try coconut kefir once, and I guarantee you'll kick yogurt to the curb for good.
ReplyDeleteThat does sound really delicious! I should give that a try.
