Next, add 440ml of unsweetened fresh milk into the pot and continue stirring until you get a smooth and thick mixture.

Make butterfly pea yogurt
Add 550ml of filtered water into a pot, place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil over high heat. When the water boils, add dried butterfly pea flowers and cook for 3 – 5 minutes to extract the color, then turn off the heat and let it cool for 5 – 10 minutes.
Tip: Depending on your desired color intensity, you can adjust the amount of butterfly pea flowers and cooking time accordingly!Remove the flower residue and slowly pour the butterfly pea water into the milk mixture while stirring continuously to ensure the culture works under optimal conditions.
-
Ferment the yogurt
Strain the mixture through a sieve to make the yogurt smoother. Finally, cover the pot with a dry cloth and put the lid on.
Tip: Using a cloth to cover the pot ensures that the steam condenses on the lid and soaks into the cloth instead of dripping into the mixture, preventing the yogurt from becoming uneven.After that, place the yogurt pot in a corner of the kitchen and let it ferment for about 12 hours at room temperature. During the fermentation, avoid moving it.
You can also take a towel to wrap around the pot to ensure the best fermentation quality.
