Learn how to make yogurt

Come and learn how to make yogurt.

I have decided to also add another type of yogurt to the party. I am also going to teach you how to make your own yogurt from store bought yogurt as well as two of My trusty old world heirloom yogurt cultures. Piima and Caspian sea yogurt. Both are Mesophilic cultures, which are very easy to make. No need to buy one of those yogurt heaters to do any of these, including the storebought culture. The cost is 10.00 to attend, plus you also get both of the Heirloom starter cultures to make your own Piima and Caspian yogurts. Piima yogurt starter makes a thin cultured beverage. Originating from Scandinavia, it has a number of uses including making an excellent base for salad dressing, cultured butter or for making Piima cream (a sour cream type condiment). This yogurt culture can also be added to milk and consumed as a dairy beverage. Doing so adds beneficial cultures to the milk and many people feel it helps replace beneficial bacteria lost during the pasteurization process. Caspian Sea Yogurt is also called matsoun or matsoni is also known as Caucasian sour cream or Bulgarian yogurt. It neutralizes certain enzymes before they can turn procarcinogenic substances into cancer causing chemicals. It also produces tryptophan, which stimulates release of serotonin, a calming neurotransmitter that encourages sleep. It also supplies high-quality protein and calcium, rich mineral content and lowered salt content may help reduce the chances of bone fractures, strokes and osteoporosis, which are major causes of elderly people becoming bedridden. Caspian Sea Yogurt viscosity acts like dietary fibers to maintain intestinal health and increases natural intestinal flora, preventing the development of pathogenic germs, including salmonella, E. coli and Candida. It helps the body digest proteins and glucides, absorb vitamins B and K, and has been proven to suppress cancer cells. may also prevent allergies like hay fever, age-related disorders and obesity. may regulate estrogen levels by processing them with enzymes secreted by the beneficial bacteria. It may even eliminate or metabolize the forerunners of carcinogenic substances.

We will also talk about flavoring the yogurts and different method of uses for them.

All three cultures will be given out during the end of the class so you can cultivate your own yogurts.
