HOW TO : homemade soy yogurt

do you remember the one pot rice video i made with ebba zingmark a while back ?
while cooking, we of course got to talking about food, and she recommended i try making my own soy yogurt at home. so like the fermentation lover that i am, i of course got cracking straight away.

it’s so simple that i’m a bit surprised i hadn’t tried it before. needless to say, i make it all the time now ^^
here’s how :

homemade soy yogurt :
1 000 ml / 4 cups organic unsweetened soy milk (or follow my homemade soy milk recipe)
2 tbsp soy yogurt, with bacteria culture

– heat the soy milk to about 37°C / 98°F (finger warm)
– stir in the soy yogurt and pour into a thermos. leave in room temperature overnight or at least 7-8 hours
– now the soygurt is done. either enjoy it as is, or if you want it thicker, just pour into a sieve covered with some coffee filters or cloth and let sit in the fridge for a couple of hours
– keep the soygurt in the fridge for up to a few days. always save 2 tbsp of your new yogurt to use as a starter culture in the next batch. if you don’t plan to make a new batch within a few days, you can freeze the starter culture
