Yogurt is a fermented milk product that is obtained by fermenting milk under certain conditions. This is due to the lactic acid bacteria included in its composition, due to which the product acquires a characteristic taste, texture and color.
Natural yoghurts are famous for their high content of vitamins and minerals. They are considered useful because lactic acid bacteria of our microflora help to stimulate metabolic processes, strengthen immunity, establish and maintain the work of the gastrointestinal tract, etc. This is due to the fact that the yoghurt bacteria ferment lactose. Therefore, yoghurt is much better digested and easier to digest than regular milk. Very often, people with milk protein allergies and lactose intolerance can consume yoghurt without harm to their health. Natural yoghurt is also recommended for diets, because it helps to get rid of the hated extra pounds.
Note: Yogurt bacteria are sold in any supermarket in the dairy section. They are different: sembotic, lacto-bacteria, bifido-bacteria, mixed. Buy the ones you need. The fat content of the milk affects the consistency of yoghurt. Therefore, if you want low fat yogurt, choose milk with a low fat content.

How to make homemade yogurt?
1. Pour the milk into a cooking pot and place on the stove with medium heat.
2. Bring it to a boil. As soon as the first bubbles appear and you see the milk froth rising, immediately remove the pan from the heat. Leave it to cool down to a temperature of 38-40 degrees. Otherwise, if you put the bacteria in a hot liquid, you will, of course, succeed in yogurt, but the bacteria will all die.
I recommend that you bring the milk to a boil in order to kill the pathogenic bacteria that may be in it. In addition, it is recommended to boil even pasteurized milk.
3. Once the milk has reached the right temperature, pour a couple of spoons into a small bowl and dissolve the bacteria in it so that there are no lumps. Then pour them into a saucepan with milk and stir.
4. Pour sugar into a saucepan and stir until it is completely dissolved.
5. Close the pot with a lid, wrap it up with a warm blanket or towel and leave in a warm place to ferment for 6-8 hours.
6. You can also pour the milk into a thermos. Then you don't have to wrap up the pan with warm clothes.
7. After this time, pour the yoghurt into a clean storage container and refrigerate. Then it will acquire a thicker consistency.
The next portion of the drink can be prepared without buying bacteria, but using a few tablespoons of this yogurt.
