Hey y'all! Hope you are doing well. Today I am sharing how I make my easy Icelandic Skyr yogurt.
I made a video showing how I make it. You can find that here.
To start add 1/2 a gallon of milk to the instant pot. Then remove the silicone ring this can hold on to the flavors of whatever you have cooked in the instant pot. Add the lid and push the yogurt button to boil.
When it beeps carefully pull the insert out to cool. When the milk is around 110 degrees take 1/4 rennet tablet and dissolve it in 1/8 cup of warm water.
Then mix 1 cup of your cooled milk with 2 tablespoons of starter. I got my starter online to start but if you can find a plain skyr yogurt that will work as well. Now I just use some from my last batch to make the new yogurt. Add the starter mixture and the rennet mixture to the insert.
Now put the insert back into the instant pot and add the lid. Press the yogurt
button 3 times for 8 hours.
After that get a bowl and put a colander inside of it.
Line the colander with a cloth.
Carefully pour the yogurt in the cloth.
Pull the cloth together to get more whey out. Leave the cloth together.
Now put it in the fridge to drip for 8 or more hours so that more whey is released and you end up with a thicker yogurt. Look at all the whey that it released.
Put the finished yogurt in your container. It will keep for a few weeks. Don't forget to label and date it!
I also like to keep a few tablespoons from my newest batch and freeze it. This is my backup starter. That way if something happens to my yogurt I won't have to buy more.
