Yogurt Recipe Tips
In order to make natural yogurt, you should buy fresh farm milk from the farmers who feed cows instead of ready-made milk sold in the market.
Make sure that the kitchen equipment you will use during the pasteurization process and fermentation process is clean.
Strain the milk with the help of a clean cloth to get rid of any foreign matter that may be present in it.
After buying the milk, you should definitely pasteurize it by boiling it in order to destroy the harmful bacteria in the milk.
To pasteurize fresh cow's milk, the milk temperature must be between 63-90 degrees. If you do not want the milk proteins to be damaged, you can pasteurize them for 30 minutes at low temperatures such as 63-65 degrees.
If you ferment the boiled milk with the natural yogurt you have made before, you will still obtain natural yogurt.
You should definitely check the temperature before fermenting the milk. If your finger can withstand the heat of the milk, it means the milk is ready to ferment.
After fermenting the milk, wrap the glass bowl in which you put the milk with a few towels to keep the milk warm.
Your yogurt will be ready when you keep the warm milk in the refrigerator for 1 day. However, if you keep yogurt in the fridge more, you get more harder yogurt. And the consistency of the yogurt will be better.

How to Make Homemade Yogurt ?
Cover a deep pot with a clean thin cloth.
Pour 5 liters of fresh cow's milk over the thin cloth to strain it.
After straining the milk, remove the thin cloth.
Boil the milk at high temperature for 20 minutes. Stir constantly so that the milk does not overflow.
After boiling the milk, transfer it to clean glass bowls so that the temperature drops.
Leave the milk in glass bowls by closing the lid for 20 minutes. At the end of this period, if your finger can withstand the temperature of the milk, it means that the milk is ready to ferment.
With the help of a spoon, mix the milk you have taken with some yogurt that you have made before. And pour this mixture back into the milk. And close the lids of the glass bowls.
Cover each glass bowl with 2 towels and leave for 3 hours at room temperature to keep warm.
After 3 hours, remove the towels from the glass bowls and put them in the refrigerator.
Your yogurt will be ready after 1 day in the refrigerator.
Bon appetit.
