Final Product
Greek yogurt has a creamy texture and a delicious flavor from soy milk with a light sweet and sour taste. You can enjoy the yogurt with fruits, cereals, or chia seeds and serve it cold for added deliciousness!
Successful execution tips:
- Soy yogurt has the highest protein content, equivalent to cow’s milk, so this is also the secret to making successful yogurt.
- The starter yogurt is yogurt that has been packaged, which you can buy at supermarkets or grocery stores.
- The starter yogurt should be left at room temperature before adding it to the milk. Stir only in one direction; the more evenly you stir, the smoother and tastier the yogurt will be.
- It is recommended to filter the yogurt in the refrigerator because leaving the milk outside will make it easier for bacteria to invade the milk.
- The longer you leave it, the more whey will drain out, resulting in the remaining yogurt becoming thick and sticky. Therefore, depending on whether you prefer your yogurt to be thick and sticky or not, you can adjust the whey separation time.
- If you filter the yogurt for about 18 – 24 hours, the final product will resemble cheese and can be used for spreading on cakes.
Storage method: Place the yogurt in the refrigerator’s cool compartment or freezer and use it gradually within a week.
