Dairy-free Yogurt Culture is a blend of freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria specifically chosen for crafting dairy-free yogurt. This culture yields a gentle yogurt flavor characterized by a smooth texture and medium body. Ideally suited for soymilk or ricemilk, it is also compatible with animal milks.
For optimal results, incubate at a temperature between 106°F and 110°F for 7-8 hours until the mixture achieves a thick consistency.
It's crucial to note that when preparing soy yogurt, you can follow the standard yogurt recipe. However, when using coconut-, rice-, or almondmilk, the addition of a carbohydrate source (such as sugar) and a thickener (like agar agar, pectin, or gelatin) is necessary due to the unique nature of these dairy alternatives.
When using freeze-dried yogurt cultures, efficiency is maximized when making larger batches. Home yogurt-makers should engage in their own measurements, division, and experimentation for the best results.
