(ALL OF THESE PRODUCTS CAN BE FOUND ON AMAZON.COM*)
You'll Need:
- 1 16 oz. Mason jar with a lid
- 1 cooking thermometer
Directions:
- Heat coconut milk in a saucepan to 180 degrees F, but do not allow it to boil. Remove from heat.
- ASAP, add gelatin to your hot coconut milk and stir thoroughly.
- Add stevia and flavor extract. Cover your mix and let cool to 95 degrees F.
- Mix in your yogurt starter. Stir thoroughly.
- Pour into a Mason jar. Close your jar with its lid. Let it sit at about 105 degrees for 7-9 hours. There are a few ways to do this. You can use a heating pad, a dehydrator, or a pressure cooker. The longer you let it ferment, the sourer it will be.
- Stir your mix and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours... And enjoy!
