Instant Pot Greek Yogurt
Prep: 5 min Cook: 12 hrs 30 min Total Time: 12 hrs 30 min
Servings: 15-20
Yes, you can make your own yogurt!! Even better, it tastes amazing. It’s cheap with all the health benefits. Have fun!
INGREDIENTS:
- Nut milk bag ($8 on Amazon)
- Food thermometer
- Extra rubber instant-pot sealing ring to be used ONLY for yogurt-making ($8 for 2 pack on Amazon)
DIRECTIONS:
-
Replace the existing rubber gasket with a fresh one. Again, this fresh rubber ring is to be used ONLY for yogurt making. It helps your yogurt not tasty like last week’s chicken curry.
-
Pour in an entire gallon of milk. (I use organic whole milk).
-
Put on the lid and then push “yogurt”, the “adjust” until it says “BOIL”. This step can take 30-40 minutes.
-
When it is done, check the yogurt temperature with a thermometer. You need your yogurt to rechristen 180-185°F. If it doesn’t get hot enough, you need to repeat this step.
- Once it has reached the right temperature it will need to cool down to somewhere between 100-110°F. Remove the inner pot and let it cool on the counter. This could take up to two hours.
- Put the pot back in and mix in about one cup of high quality, probiotic-rich yogurt.
- Put the lid on the pot then push “yogurt” then “adjust” until it reads “8:00”.
- After it is done incubating, empty contents into a “nut milk bag” (or a cheesecloth) and set it somewhere to strain for a couple of hours. Note: the liquid that comes out from the bottom is whey. Some people save it and drink it because it is high in protein. I personally don’t care for it because it is tart, but you choose!
- After it has completely strained, you have your yogurt. Keep it in the fridge.
ENJOY!
