Stir gently and wait until foam appears on the sides. This heating process does not actually bring it to a boil, turn off the heat on the stove if foam appears on the edge of the milk in the pan. Apart from that, this heating process aims to kill the bacteria in the milk. "Yes, the bacteria are killed so that the texture of the yogurt can be improved. there are enzymes that are broken down and reduce the water content," commented the Instagram account @aaaaristiorini.

After that, let the milk sit until it cools. This process can take around 45 minutes. When the milk is cold, open the prepared plain Greek yogurt and put it in a small bowl. Dissolve the Greek yogurt a little in cold milk, and stir gently. After that, pour the yogurt into a pan and mix it with full cream milk. "Pour everything into a pan of milk and stir well," he wrote.

Now, the yogurt is ready to be stored in a dark place and will not move. The owner of the video appears to have kept it in the top cabinet in the kitchen. Leave it in the room for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the yogurt is ready to be consumed or stored in the refrigerator. If you're about to run out, you can also make it again in the same way. According to the video owner, this yogurt contains less sugar because the ingredients are milk and plain yogurt. As is known, plain yogurt is usually sold at a more expensive price. "Just be careful if you buy it on the market, because usually the sugar content is quite high. I like plain Greek yoghurt, just because it's a bit rich, guys, if you buy it first, it's wasteful, so we just make it... and it turns out it doesn't look good..." he wrote. .
