KEFIR YOGURT (SANA)



Kefir Yogurt (Sana) image

This recipe is my variation of one that came with my yogurt maker. It's easy to create Greek yogurt from this, too! Simply strain the yogurt in a colander lined with fine cheesecloth or coffee filters. Using kefir at the start creates a much more tart yogurt from the start; it tastes a lot like Sana from Europe. You can substitute plain yogurt with live active cultures for the kefir, if desired. Save 1/2 cup of yogurt to use a starter, if desired. Eat yogurt within a week.

HOMEMADE KEFIR



Homemade Kefir image

Kefir is like yogurt, but it's healthier for you and easier to make. Put it on a counter and let it go. How easy is that? UPDATE: According to one review, if you store kefir in spring water, they will die. You can store them in spring water for short periods in the fridge. OR you can store them in a little milk. I've done both and both work fine. I've heard you can store them in the freezer even, for longer periods of time.

Time P1DT2m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 tablespoon kefir, grains (looks like little pieces of cauliflower)
1 quart whole milk

Steps:

  • Put kefir in glass jar and fill almost full with the whole milk (organic, non-pasteurized is preferable).
  • Cover with a clean cloth and place on the counter.
  • Wait 1 to 2 days, stirring periodically with a PLASTIC spoon (not metal).
  • When thick, strain out the kefir grains with a plastic strainer. Don't smash the grains.
  • Place grains in a clean jar and repeat.
  • You can cut down the tang of the kefir by '2nd fermenting': After removing grains, put 1-2 slices of lemon or lime peel or a vanilla bean back in the jar with the kefir. Cover and let sit on counter another day. After removing the peel/bean, taste the kefir. If it is to your liking, then cover with a plastic lid and put in fridge until ready to drink. If not, let sit a little longer with the peel/bean.
  • NOTE: If you run out of milk or will be out of town, place grains in a glass jar and cover with milk. Put a lid on jar and keep in fridge until ready to use again (they should be okay for a week or two, but will need fresh milk to feed on then.).
