You will need:
-
a 36-hour yogurt maker with independent time/temperature settings. My favorite is the
Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker (Amazon):
https://lvnta.com/lv_3zfGwapGJWmRTgtavm
-
Organic half and half (lactose free is ok), 32 oz container
-
Organic inulin
-
LifeWay plain Kefir
-
food thermometer
-
probiotic strains (see below). Ingredients here are for the SIFO Supergut Yogurt, but the instructions remain the same for all strains on reverse, other than prebiotic and time/temp can vary (see chart).
-
Dairy-free: substitute L. Rhamnosus capsule for the Kefir. Use organic canned coconut milk (no additives except guar gum is ok if included). Instead of inulin as your prebiotic, you will need 3/4 t. non-partially-hydrolyzed guar gum, 1 T. raw potato starch, and 1 T. sugar. Sanitize your equipment (see below). Heat 1 qt (32 oz) coconut milk to 180 degrees maintained for 1 minute. Stir in sugar and potato starch (sprinkle as you stir). Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes, then sprinkle as you stir in 3/4 t. guar gum. Blend with immersion blender 1 minute or until it reaches texture of heavy cream. Allow to cool to room temperature, then stir in (do not blend further) opened probiotic capsules or 2 T. whey from prior yogurt batch. Ferment for 48 hours.
To make yogurt: Follow these directions, not yogurt maker's directions.
Sanitize the following in your dishwasher: mixing bowl, medium saucepan, stainless tablespoon, wire wisk, and a small plate to place your utensils on during the process. Wash thermometer in hot soapy water.
-
Heat half and half to 180 deg in saucepan. Remove from heat and let it cool to 104 deg.
-
First batch: open probiotic capsules into the mixing bowl. Subsequent batches: put 2 T of previous batch yogurt into the mixing bowl. You only need the capsules and kefir for the first batch.
-
Stir in 2 T. LifeWay Kefir. Mix well using the wisk.
-
Add 2 T. cooled half and half. Mix/wisk well.
-
Sprinkle 2 T. inulin over top surface in small doses (to prevent clumping) and wisk in until you use all 2T. Wisk until well distributed.
-
Add the rest of the cooled half and half and mix well.
-
Pour mixture equally into yogurt containers and place them into the yogurt maker with lids on.
-
Put water in yogurt maker to level of yogurt in the containers.
-
Set temperature to 106 deg. Set time to 36 hours (this is default setting on above maker).
-
Once done, put in refrigerator for several hours or overnight before eating.
-
Consume: 1/4 to 1/2 cup daily for 8-12 weeks. Add ins of berries or honey are ok. Once your gut is better, you can add stevia or allulose sweetener if desired.
-
Save 2 T. from this batch for the next batch.
