Re: nut yogurt attempt/Marjan

[Guest guest]

" I put all the ingredients in the blender and planned on blending it

for the 10 minutes, like you suggested. But I started smelling a

burning smell, so I stopped after 2 min. "

Two minutes seems a bit short. But to wreck your blender is another

thing...

" So then I strained it through a sieve into a saucepan and brought it

to a boil. I then let it cool to room temp and followed the rest of

the instructions. Do you think this will make a difference? "

I never ever boil it. After 3 incidents I promised myself not to heat

it:

I once forgot the blender and it whizzed away for 54 minutes

(really). The nut milk had heated up till hot. The yoghurt failed.

Another time the same thing happened when I wanted to make just the

regular nut milk (to drink), this separated in the bottle.

My son likes his nut milk warm, but after a couple of minutes, the

milk separates.

You decide.

" I have another question: Why do you have to drip it overnight? "

After the 'warm' fermentation, in the fridge there will be more

fermenting in the pot. It just needs time. Overnight to me is a

maximum of say, 8 hours. Some say 5 hours is OK, but only if the

fridge is nice and cold.

" If I do that it will drip for at least 12 hrs. "

No problem

Well, I think I have yogurt. I let it refrigerate overnight and

dripped it for 45 minutes and it's a nice thick yogurt. It tastes

tart like it should. It actually has a very mild flavor. I think

the boys are really going to like it (now let's just hope they

tolerate it!)

Gia,

just before going to bed (tired tired tired), you just made a

miserable day (nothing to do with my son, guys) a little brighter.

Thank for posting that!
