Instructions
- Make the yogurt (using an Instant Pot): pour the milk in the bowl of the InstantPot. Close tightly and press the “Yogurt” button, the boil setting. Once the milk reaches a boil, remove the lid and allow the milk to cool to 95°F (35°C). Add the yogurt to a small bowl. Add a ladle of warm milk to the yogurt and whisk until combined. Add the yogurt mixture to the warm milk and stir to combine. Place the Insant Pot bowl of milk back in the Instant Pot. Close with the lid and press the “Yogurt” button and set it for 12 hours. The next day, the mixture will transform into a silky, glossy yogurt.
- Make the drinks: For each homemade yogurt drink, add all the ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth. Store in bottles or jars for up to two days.
