YOGURT !

I attempted making yogurt for the first time ever. Fermentation yeah!

I made coconut milk yogurt. For my first time, i think it was a success. I started with 3 cans of full fat coconut milk. and instead of buying those expensive probiotic starter pellets, i decided to try using a vegan yogurt as a starter. I researched on the internet, and no one had done it, but suggested that if you use a gurt with active cultures (even if its not dairy) it should work.

I used an unsweetened soygurt made by Wildwood. I told myself it would be a better idea than using the Plain flaved silk stuff, but now im not sure. Because the wildwood has alot of guargum in it, its supersuper thick. and the silk is nice and yogurty. Next time ill try the Silk. Also, lots of people called for putting in sweetener in the fermenting process, and I didnt, and I wonder if its important for the probiotics to make the yogurt.

Anyway, I let it sit for 24 hrs in 100 F heat. When i took it out I thought I failed. But a couple hrs after it being in the fridge it did thicken up, and tastes sort of yogurty. Im not really sure how its supposed to taste, its still heaps coconutmilk flavoured.. I guess Ill just keep experimenting!
