PREP TIME

COOK TIME

05 min

Ingredients

2 quarts organic unsweetened soy milk

2 tablespoons tapioca starch

1 tablespoon honey

3/4 cup organic unsweetened soy yogurt

Equipment: 4 pint-sized canning jars

Directions

Sterilizing the Jars: Fill a large stainless steel pot with two inches of water. Place 4 pint glass Mason or canning jars, plus their lids into pot. Cover and bring water to a boil over high heat for about 8 minutes. (If you have a good dishwasher, you may opt to forgo sterilizing your jars as long as they are newly cleaned.) Alternatively, you can fill the pot with water, submerging the jars, and boil for 10 minutes. Place the pot, still covered, off the heat, until ready to use the jars.

Add Milk & Thickener: In a large heavy-bottom stockpot, add the milk. Whisk in the tapioca and honey and stir well to combine.

Scald the Milk: Warm over moderately-high heat, until it reaches 190°F/88°C. Take off the heat.

Cool the Milk: Let the milk cool on its own or if you’re pressed for time, fill your sink halfway with ice cubes and cold water then place the pot into the sink. Let the milk cool to 120°F/49°C.

Add Culture: Whisk the yogurt starter into the cooled milk until incorporated.

Transfer the Milk: Pour the milk into jars (you can use a funnel if you’re worried about spilling), and seal with lids.

Cooling the Yogurt: Place them into a cooler and pour warm water (about 120°F/49°C) into the cooler so that it comes about ¾ of the way up the containers, and leave for 3 hours. Or, leave the yogurts in a warm spot on the counter with a tea towel for at least six hours or overnight.

Refrigerate: Place in the refrigerator to cool and set for at least 3 hours or overnight. Add to your favorite recipes.
