Are you one of those who consume yogurt frequently? If so, preparing yogurt at home is the best solution, not only because you choose the ingredients you use and forget about the flavoring, preservatives and all the litter of additives, but also because it couldn't be easier.

You only need milk, in this case it can be cow, sheep, goat or soy milk, and of course the ferments, which together with the temperature will be responsible for the fermentation. The ferments can be obtained from another yogurt already prepared, or even today in sachets in organic food stores or pharmacies. The rest is just a matter of imagination.

It is true that they can be prepared in various ways, but for me the simplest solution is a yogurt maker that you prepare and forget about because it keeps the temperature constant, with which you obtain the desired consistency, since without a yogurt maker the temperature is not constant and consistency loses.

The Tefal MultiDelices yogurt maker is also a great option, because it allows you to prepare yogurt in individual portions, and also prepare not only yogurt, but other desserts and yogurt with different flavors and presentations, as in this case, with a lemon cream base. . Shall we go with the recipe?

Tips

• You can aromatize your yogurts with the flavors that you like the most, vanilla, cocoa, jams... but never use fresh fruit, as it releases water and acid. You can use jams to mix with the milk or, as in this case, deposit at the bottom.
• If you only want natural yogurt, mix milk and yogurt and that's it.
• Powdered milk is optional, but it helps give the yogurt more consistency.
• You can substitute milk for cream to get Greek yogurt.
• The longer you leave the yogurt fermenting, the more acidic yogurt you will get.

To enjoy.
