Instructions
- Clean the Instant Pot. It is important to make sure it is very clean and rinse it out with boiling water in order to “sterilize” the pot. This affects the taste of the yogurt.
- Heat the Milk. You can do this in the instant pot or in a pan on the stove. To heat on the stove, heat on medium-low so the milk doesn’t scorch. If you heat in the instant pot, place the milk in the inner liner pot and seal the lid. Use the yogurt button and set it to boil. This will take a while. When the pot beeps, check the temperature of the milk. It needs to be 180°. Allow it to sit in the instant pot for 5 minutes.
- Allow the milk to cool to 105°-115°. Remove the pot from the instant pot. It will take about an hour to cool. If you want to cool it faster, plug the sink and add 2 to 3 inches of water and lots of ice. Set the inner liner pan only in the ice water. Don’t allow it to cool less than 105°.
- Stir the milk and remove any skim from the top.
- Stir in the yogurt starter.
- Incubate your yogurt. Set the yogurt button for 8 hours. For a tangier yogurt with more cultures, allow it to incubate for 10 to 18 hours.
- Store yogurt in glass jars in the refrigerator.
- Add ½ cup sweetener of choice per gallon. If more is needed, add a tablespoon at a time.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla or your favorite flavoring per quart.
- Serve with sliced peaches or with your favorite fruit or topping.
Notes
- IMPORTANT: If your yogurt starter is sweetened or does not contain live culture, it will NOT work.
- Clean your instant pot. Make sure it is very clean and rinse it out with boiling water to “sterilize” the pot. This will help the yogurt taste better.
- It is Greek To Me. To make Greek yogurt, make the yogurt according to directions. Layer a few large pieces of cheesecloth or paper towels in a strainer, and place the strainer in a pan to collect the whey. Gently pour the yogurt into the cheesecloth or paper towel-lined strainer. Allow it to drain overnight. Scoop the Greek yogurt into a jar and store it in the refrigerator. You can save the whey and use that as well.
- Whey. Whey is the liquid that separates from the yogurt. Save the whey as this is full of protein and is wonderful in shakes and smoothies.
- Sweeten The Deal. Choose your favorite sweetener to sweeten the yogurt. You can sweeten with granulated sugar, honey, syrup, or an artificial sweetener. You can add fruit, granola, vanilla extract, or maple flavoring.
- Freeze Starter. As soon as the yogurt is finished incubating, freeze some of the starter to use next time. Freeze in an ice cube tray, one tablespoon per ice cube.
- Yogurt to Milk Ratio. Use 1 Tablespoon of cultured yogurt per quart of milk when making yogurt. You can make 1 quart or as many quarts as your instant pot will fit (just to fill the line).
- Flavor. To flavor and sweeten your yogurt, add a couple of Tablespoons of sweetener per quart and a teaspoon of flavoring. If it needs more sweetener, add a spoon at a time.
