LH 02: Making Homemade Yogurt

Welcome to Episode #02 of the Living Homegrown Podcast!
This episode is all about making yogurt at home with an emphasis on doing it the EASY way.
In this episode you learn:
- The advantages of homemade yogurt
- How the whole process works
- Why you don’t need ANY special equipment
- How to make it the EASY way – without heating the milk
- The different types of yogurts you can make
- Why yogurt making is so safe
Yogurt Cultures Mentioned:
There are many different yogurt cultures, but a few mentioned on this episode are:
- Villi – The heirloom culture I use for room-temperature yogurt
- Traditional Greek
- Piima (Makes a drinkable yogurt)
- Vegan Yogurt Starter* – A direct set (not reusable) dairy-free starter
* Most cultures can be reused to make a new batch of yogurt except for direct set yogurts. They are one time use products.
Note: All of the cultures listed above are from Cultures for Health. I am not an affiliate for them and I have no connections with them other than as a customer. I just love their products and wanted to share them as a resource. But there are many other places on the internet where you can buy yogurt cultures if they do not have what you are looking for.
