Make your own yogurt. - with just 2 ingredients

-4c milk (I used full fat organic milk) any store bought milk will work.
-4TB plain yogurt with live cultures. You will start with a Store bought one, but once you have a batch of your own you can use that for future batches)

Bring the 4 cups of milk up to 180 degrees on a heavy bottom pot. (Or just below boiling if you don’t have a thermometer) stiring often. Keep that temp for 5 mins.

Remove from heat. Bring the temp down to 110 degrees and add the yogurt, whisk to well mixed. (You may want to thin the yogurt first with some of the milk and add that to the rest of the milk.. makes mixing much easier. Add to a glass jar.

You’ll want to keep the yogurt at 110 degrees for 4-6 hours.

I used a sous vide, but you can also place the jar in a pot of warm water and leave it in your over with the pilot light or light on. There are also tons of videos on-line to use a crock pot or instant pot as well.

After 4 hours start checking the yogurt.. it will have some whey (yellowish liquid) which is perfectly healthy. You can mix this back in the yogurt.

Cool and store in the fridge.

**if you want a thicker, Greek style yogurt.., strain your yogurt through a cheese cloth lined fine mesh strainer for an hour two in the fridge. This is what I did for the breakfast yogurt bowls in the photo.

*** if you strain the yogurt, don’t throw out the whey!! Google what you can use it for.. it is super healthy!

***Not every recipe calls for heating the milk, but I understand it makes a creamier thicker texture. Just google yogurt… it’s surprising how easy this is.

Harvested/prepped Burdock root.

This is an annoying plant for most of us… it is the one with those sticky Velcro like balls that stick to your cloths and your dogs after a walk. But dig up those roots and you”ll have food, tea and medicine.

You can Peel it and use it it stirfries (has a really nice nutty flavour ), dry it for tea or make tinctures.

Just a couple benefits are

-Blood purifier" to clear the bloodstream of toxins
-Diuretic to help eliminate excess water by increasing urine output

Sooo many more, just take a couple minutes and research. Love this root

Today I dried mine for tea and made a small batch of tincture .
