How to Make SIBO Yogurt L. Reuteri Yogurt Recipe
1. Prepare Your Milk Base:
Start by heating your milk (or half-and-half) to 180°F. Once heated, let it cool down to around 100°F. This step is crucial as it helps eliminate any unwanted bacteria that might interfere with the fermentation process.
2. Crush the Tablets:
While the milk is cooling, crush your L. reuteri tablets. You can use a mortar and pestle or, if you don't have one, try crushing them with a rolling pin. Ensure the tablets are ground to a fine powder for better mixing.
3. Mix the Starter Culture and Inulin:
In a separate container, mix the crushed tablets with 2 tablespoons of inulin powder and a small amount of cooled milk to create a smooth slurry. Inulin acts as a prebiotic, feeding the probiotics during fermentation. This step ensures that the cultures are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Combine and Pour:
Add the rest of the cooled milk to the slurry and mix well. Pour the mixture into the jars provided with the Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker. Fill each jar to just over 100 ml, which is roughly half a cup.
5. Set Up the Yogurt Maker:
Place the jars into the yogurt maker. Add water to the machine until it reaches the same level as the yogurt in the jars. Set the temperature to 100°F and the timer for 36 hours. The yogurt maker is incredibly easy to use with its digital controls. You'll know it's working correctly if the lights are solid and not flashing.
6. Wait and Enjoy:
Allow the yogurt maker to do its magic for 36 hours. After this period, check the yogurt. It's normal for the first batch to have a bit of separation, but this won't affect the taste or texture. Refrigerate the yogurt immediately after it's done, and enjoy!
