Old yogurt in the traditional sense is called solidified yogurt, which is solid. It must use fresh milk as raw material and fill semi-finished products into predetermined packages. After sealing, they will be refrigerated and fermented for 72 hours. The production time is long and the shelf life is relatively short . As consumers have higher and higher taste requirements, people add coagulants or thickeners on the basis of ordinary yogurt, which becomes the new "old yogurt". Strictly speaking, the "old yogurt" products on the market should be called "yogurt jelly". In 2012, it was reported that industrial gelatin made from broken leather shoes was added to yogurt jelly, which caused widespread concern.
So in order to eat healthier and safer, make it yourself. The material is simple, and the method is simpler. You can use a yogurt machine or a bread machine with fermentation function and an oven. There is no need to add sugar or any additives when making it. The prepared yogurt has a high acidity, and it will not flow out when placed horizontally as in the photo. You have to use a thick straw to suck it out. It can also be placed in a wide-mouthed container and mixed with honey, fruit or jam. Low in sugar, sweet and sour, it's the most suitable for little guys.
Forgive me for not having a funnel when bottling, which made the mouth of the bottle dirty, but it does not affect the taste, hehe.

Ingredients

500g Milk
2 pcs Boxed Yogurt

Homemade Old Yogurt

1. Pour the fresh milk at room temperature in a container (pasteurized preferably, and if the content of antibiotics in the fresh milk is high, it will affect the fermentation and coagulation of lactic acid bacteria)

2. Choose plain boxed plain yogurt instead of lactic acid drinks. In addition, it is best to choose a newer date, because the strains are processed by several dilutions during the production of the manufacturer, so the strain activity of the yogurt that is about to expire is very low

3. The glass bottles or bowls used for yogurt must be steamed and sterilized, in an anhydrous and oil-free state. Mix milk and boxed yogurt well, pour into the bottle 2/3 full

4. Put it in the yogurt machine and ferment overnight. The fermentation time can also be appropriately extended, and the degree of solidification will be better. If you don’t have a yogurt maker, you can use the fermentation function of a bread maker or oven, and then let it stand still and airtight.

5. This time I directly added 1 scoop of chocolate sauce, which is also delicious. The sweet and sour tastes of chocolate with burnt aroma (you can also try honey, blueberry sauce or strawberry sauce, or banana, strawberry, cantaloupe and other sweeter fruits. )

Tips:
1. Look at the ingredient list of yogurt, what should be noted:
A. The simpler the ingredients, the better. It is best to only contain fresh milk, white sugar, and lactic acid bacteria. The additives in yogurt generally include sweeteners (fructose syrup, acesulfame potassium, aspartame, etc.), thickeners (gelatin pectin, etc.), stabilizers, coagulants, food flavors, etc.
B. The protein content of yogurt must be higher than 2.9%, otherwise it is a yogurt drink.
C. Yogurt does not contain water, but water contains beverages. However, it is normal that a small amount of whey protein will be diluted in the prepared old yogurt, similar to the shape of raw egg white.
2. Homemade yogurt can not be used repeatedly.
3. The container for yogurt must be steamed and sterilized, in an anhydrous and oil-free state, otherwise it is easy to produce bacteria that the body does not like.
4. As for the commercially available old yogurt bacteria powder, it is just a gimmick. The specialized bacteria are cultivated specially for the manufacturers, and the original bacteria are difficult to obtain and preserve. Ordinary yogurt shops also use boxed yogurt as strains.
