Lee’s Yogurt: Cuisine HELP

By Lee Aase • December 4, 2023

I've been making this delicious yogurt for almost five years. It's become a staple in my diet, eating it several times a week. I especially enjoy it as pictured to the right topped with fresh raspberries.

Check out this post to read more about the health benefits. Below you will find the instructions for how to make it for yourself.

Ingredients and Equipment

BioGaia Gastrus Chewable Tablets
Inulin Powder
Liquid: Mixture of whole milk, half-and-half, and heavy whipping cream totaling one quart
A yogurt maker (this is the one I have)

Step-By-Step Instructions

For your first batch, crush ten BioGaia tablets into a powder. I use the bottom of a glass to do this on a cutting board. In subsequent batches you can use a tablespoon of your yogurt as a starter for your next batch. Consider dissolving one BioGaia tablet in every 10 or so batches you make to keep the level of colony forming units (CFU) high.
Place two tablespoons of inulin powder in the bottom of your mixing bowl.
Add in two tablespoons of your liquid and whisk to dissolve the mixture into a smooth slurry, and then add your powder from the crushed tablets (or yogurt starter from previous batches) and continue stirring.
Add in one quart of your preferred liquid. I use a mixture of organic half-and-half and organic heavy whipping cream.
Whisk for around a minute to get the bacteria thoroughly mixed into the liquid.
Divide the liquid into the small jars of your yogurt maker and cover with the lids. Place the jars in your yogurt maker, adding a little water into the basin of the yogurt maker to allow the heat to be conducted evenly.
Plug in the machine and set the temperature to 104 degrees F for 20 hours.
Once the yogurt is finished culturing, place the jars in the refrigerator.
When it’s time to eat, I take one of the jars from the refrigerator and spread it out in a dish, adding three more teaspoons of the inulin both to sweeten the yogurt and to provide some prebiotic fiber to feed the bacteria in my GI tract.

My wife and I love this yogurt Lee! Thank you for sharing this. I have to admit that it took me a few tries before I got it to the right consistency on a regular basis.

I am going to start making this yogurt also! (I bought the book last spring.....) I will probably have some questions when I get going on it. 🙂

You can also use a Ninja foodie or an instant pot to make it.
