  Stir the yogurt mixture

  Add 380ml of condensed milk, 150ml of warm water (about 70 – 90 degrees Celsius), and 440ml of chocolate milk into a pot, then stir the mixture until dissolved.

  Place the milk mixture on the stove over medium heat (temperature around 80 – 85 degrees Celsius) and cook the mixture until it begins to boil gently, then turn off the heat. During the cooking process, stir the mixture to dissolve.

  Strain the mixture to remove any remaining sediment to make the mixture smoother, then let it cool for about 30 minutes.

  When the mixture has cooled down a bit, add 100ml of yogurt and stir well to dissolve.

  Tip: Do not add yogurt when the milk is still too hot. The lactic acid bacteria in yogurt work optimally at temperatures between 43 – 45 degrees Celsius. Therefore, adding it when the milk is too hot will kill the bacteria and cause your final product to separate.

  Ferment the yogurt

  After stirring well, cover the pot tightly and let the mixture ferment for 8 hours at room temperature (you should place the mixture in a spot where direct sunlight can reach).

  Tip: If the temperature in your area is a bit low, you can use a 25w yellow bulb in the box to keep the yogurt warm during the fermentation process. The most important thing when making yogurt to avoid sliminess and spoilage is to keep the yogurt at a temperature between 43 – 45 degrees Celsius, which is also the optimal temperature for the yogurt culture to grow and function.
