The nutritional value of yogurt far exceeds that of fresh milk and is highly beneficial to the human body. However, due to the recent popular "old yogurt" incident, many yogurt lovers have become hesitant. For those who love old yogurt, why not try making your own "old yogurt" at home, ensuring it's free from harmful additives.

How to Make Homemade Old Yogurt
1. Prepare pure milk and a cup of yogurt as a starter.
2. Pour the milk and the starter yogurt into the inner container of the yogurt maker and mix well.
3. Pour an appropriate amount of warm water into the yogurt maker, place the inner container with the milk inside, plug it in, and keep it warm for 8 hours.
4. Your original, nutritious old yogurt is ready.
Precautions
1. Old yogurt is quite sour. You can add honey according to your taste or make a smoothie.
2. The yogurt used as a starter must not contain fruit fillings, nor can it be fruit-flavored yogurt.
3. Successful yogurt should be semi-solid, with a clean, smooth white surface and no whey (a pale yellow, transparent liquid) separating. It should have a milky aroma. If you are not concerned about gaining weight and enjoy sweets, you can add sugar before eating. Do not add sugar before fermentation.
4. The shelf life of homemade yogurt is 2-3 days at room temperature and 10 days when refrigerated.
5. It is recommended to consume it 2 hours after a meal. The stomach is highly acidic at this time, which can kill the lactic acid bacteria and reduce the health benefits for the digestive system.
