Ingredients

• 4 cups Low-fat milk
• 2 tablespoons Plain live yoghurt (as a starter culture)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Stevia or erythritol sweetener (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Pour the low-fat milk into a medium-sized saucepan and heat it over medium heat until it reaches about 180°F (82°C). This is just before it starts to simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scalding.

Step 2

Once heated, remove the milk from the heat and allow it to cool down to around 110°F (43°C). This is important, as temperatures above this could kill the live cultures in the yoghurt starter.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the plain live yoghurt with a small amount of the cooled milk to create a smooth consistency. This will make it easier to incorporate into the rest of the milk.

Step 4

Gently stir the yoghurt mixture into the cooled milk until fully combined. If desired, add vanilla extract and/or a sugar-free sweetener like stevia or erythritol at this stage and mix well.

Step 5

Pour the yoghurt mixture into a clean container or yoghurt maker, ensuring it's evenly distributed. If you don't have a yoghurt maker, use an insulated container or wrap the container in a towel to maintain warmth.

Step 6

Allow the mixture to ferment in a warm place for 6 to 8 hours, or until the yoghurt thickens to your desired consistency. The longer it ferments, the tangier the yoghurt will be.

Step 7

Once fermented, transfer the yoghurt to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help set it further and enhance the texture.

Step 8

Serve plain or garnish with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or nuts for added flavor (optional for non-diabetic-friendly toppings). Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
