Homemade Coconut Yogurt Recipe

Instructions

For the coconut milk, shake the cans well before opening. Pour contents into a clean glass container or bowl.

If using include honey or maple syrup for a sweeter taste. Add probiotic powder or contents of the probiotic capsule.

Use a whisk to mix components thoroughly until the mixture is smooth.

Cover the container with cheesecloth or a kitchen towel kept secure with a rubber band. Put it in a warm place (about 75°F to 85°F) for 24-48 hours. The longer it sits, the tangier it becomes.

After the set time, check the yogurt for taste besides how it feels. If it tastes right, stir, then move it to the fridge.

Enjoy the yogurt plain or with favorite toppings like fruit, nuts or seeds. Put leftovers in a container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
