In making a yogurt, you have to heat the milk first at 85 degrees Celsius. This is done to change the protein component in an animal’s milk to prevent curds from occurring. Once done, milk is cooled down until it reaches at exactly 45 degrees Celsius temperature, time to add the bacterial culture in the milk right away. This 45 degree Celsius temperature should be maintained for about four (4) to twelve (12) hours while the culture is mixed with milk to allow fermentation process. Then you will have soft, thick textured milk, tangy in flavour yogurt snack for you!
