Summary: Strauss encourages you to eat Straus yogurt, of course. But if you want to try making some yourself, they wanted to share this delicious recipe.
Ingredients:
5 cups of Straus Organic Milk (whole, reduced fat or nonfat)
1/4 cup Straus Organic Whole or Nonfat Plain Yogurt
Directions:
In a heavy 4-quart pan, heat milk, stirring frequently over medium heat to 185 degrees.
Remove from the heat and let it cool to 110 degrees.
Place yogurt in a bowl. Gradually stir in the cooled milk a little at a time, stirring until smooth.
Cover the bowl with a moist clean towel in a warm place (about 90 degrees). Your unlit gas oven is a perfect place. The pilot light should be on, of course.
Let the mixture sit until it thickens around the edges, about 5 hours or overnight.
The longer it sits in the warmth, the more cultures will grow and the sourer the yogurt will become. Place the bowl in the refrigerator until completely chilled. Your yogurt should last about 2 weeks if stored in an airtight container.
Serve with your favorite topping (fruit, honey, granola, etc.) or strain it to make a yogurt cheese. Yumm!
Note: It has also been suggested that trying 1 teaspoon of yogurt to 4 cups of milk makes a thicker yogurt. It’s a matter of preference and of testing the waters. There is some flexibility here. So experiment a bit and see what you like!
