If you’ve not yet ventured into the cultured world of DIY yoghurt you’re missing out. It’s not as hard as you think and you don’t need to bother with heating the milk up just use UHT milk as it’s already been heated to the right temperature.

When I was in Germany recently, I took myself off to the supermarket for a bit of ‘Euro supermarket food porn’ – one of my favourite things to do overseas is check out the local supermarket. Let me tell you, the aisles of Germany did not disappoint. There were cheeses, oh so many cheeses, nice tea, fresh berries, weird meats, breads and yoghurt in jars – in jars. I don’t know why we don’t have yoghurt in jars here, it looks way better and is probably better for you. So I just made some in my own jar (clevers I know). I used a Aldi brand mayo jar for a touch of the Deutschland, and it looks great.


Ingredients (serves 1 | makes 500ml of plain yoghurt)

  • 1 tablespoon Plain yoghurt
  • 2 tablespoons Full cream milk powder
  • 500ml UHT full cream milk

Method

  1. Take a tablespoon of yoghurt from a tub of plain store bought yoghurt (once you have made it you can just use a spoonful from your own homemade yoghurt).
  2. Add to the jar with two tablespoons of powdered milk (makes it lovely and creamy) and add UHT milk to the top.
  3. Stir or shake and then sit in an esky or yoghurt maker (filled with 1/3 boiling water) for six to eight hours (if you make it before bed it's ready when you get up - although best if it's chilled for half an hour before you tuck in).

  • I feel like this would work out alot cheaper then buying bulk yogurt :o

  • I’ve trued to make the yoghurt and it didn’t work ????. I added mire milk powder and left it for another night but it’s still judt milk. What did I do wrong? Is some yoghurt better than other to start it? I used full fat greek yoghurt. Tia

  • The saying is “if it seems too good to be true, it usually is” This seems way too easy, I’m going to have to give it a go just to see how it turns out
