Do you often eat yogurt? Yes, I do. I make homemade yogurt with my yogurt machine. Compared to the yogurt that we can buy at the store, homemade one tastes fresher and much better.

Lactic acid bacteria are very important to stay healthy, so my husband and I have yogurt every single day. One day, I learned about Keffir yogurt. This one is made by a different way from regular yogurt. The fermention temperature is much lower and the time takes much longer, so it contains more lactic acid bacteria. Regular yogurt usually contains only one or two types of lactic acid bacteria, while keffir yogurt contains three or four different kinds of bacteria. That's really good to keep our gut healthy.

We can't find keffir yogurt at any grocery stores near us, so I ordered some online. I used it as a starter culture to make homemade one.

I mixed 100g of the yogurt with 1,000ml of whole milk and set my yogurt maker 25 ℃ to 24 hours. I usually set it 42 ℃ to 8 hours to make regular yogurt.

The following day, the mixture turned into yogurt.

It looked softer than regular one and reminded me of tofu.

I served it with some homegrown blueberries and bilberries with some homemade rhubarb jam. It tasted much milder than regular yogurt and the combination of rhubarb jam and yogurt was really good. To stay healthy, I'm planning on having this yogurt every day.
