Mixing Kefir And Yogurt Recipes

KEFIR YOGURT (SANA)

Kefir Yogurt (Sana) image

This recipe is my variation of one that came with my yogurt maker. It's easy to create Greek yogurt from this, too! Simply strain the yogurt in a colander lined with fine cheesecloth or coffee filters. Using kefir at the start creates a much more tart yogurt from the start; it tastes a lot like Sana from Europe. You can substitute plain yogurt with live active cultures for the kefir, if desired. Save 1/2 cup of yogurt to use a starter, if desired. Eat yogurt within a week.

Kefir with Berries image

Kefir, a fermented-milk drink full of vitamins and beneficial microorganisms, is even better when blended with fresh, organic red and golden raspberries or any other fruit that's in season. If you don't have kefir, substitute buttermilk.

HOMEMADE KEFIR

Homemade kefir image

Make your own milk kefir with our easy-to-follow recipe. This tangy fermented dairy drink is similar to yogurt and packed with beneficial probiotic bacteria

Provided by Caroline Gilmartin

Time 10m

Yield Makes 500ml

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

½ tsp kefir grains (see tip, below)
1 pint milk (organic whole milk for best results)
1 slice lemon or 1 drop lemon oil (optional)
500ml clip-top jar with gasket for fermenting (or jar, cover and rubber band)
a sieve, jug/bowl, storage bottle or a straining funnel and wide-necked bottle

Steps:

Put ½ tsp kefir grains in the jar. Add the milk, leaving about 2cm head room if using a clip top jar, or at least 5cm for a cloth-covered jar.
Set aside at room temperature for 18-24 hrs to ferment. It's turned to kefir when the milk has thickened. It may have set and separated, with pockets of whey forming - this is quite normal.
If you can't strain it straight away, put it in the fridge to stop it fermenting further, the flavour can get quite strong - you can strain it anytime over the next 48 hrs.
Strain the kefir through the sieve or straining funnel into the jug or bottle. The grains are quite robust and will withstand gentle stirring.
You can drink it straight away, flavour and refrigerate it (a slice of lemon peel or a drop of lemon oil add a delicious fresh taste), or leave it at room temperature for a few hours to make it taste stronger. Storing it in the fridge will slow down the fermentation by the microbes and it should remain pleasantly useable for 7-10 days.
In order to make some more kefir, rinse out the jar, return the grains (don't wash them, there's no need), and start again from the beginning.
