In honor of Mr. Borden who invented a way to sterilize and ship milk decades before pasteurization, I decided to make yogurt today. You can watch a 20 minute YouTube video or scroll through 25 anecdotes and ads to learn how, or you can just read maybe 4 tweets.

1) Put 1.5 cups water in instant pot and set to steam to sterilize the pot. Pour out after it’s done and let cool at least a bit.
2) Pour in one container of Fairlife Milk (I use full fat) or any ultra pasteurized milk (otherwise you have to boil the milk first).

3) Add 1 tsp Vanilla (not my puppy, the extract of the bean)
4) Add 1 tbs yogurt with live cultures (from prior batches if you think ahead or from a single serve of something like siggis or skyr or Fage)
5) 1 can sweetened condensed milk if you want sweetener (can omit)

6) stir with clean stainless steel whisk
7) press “yogurt” on the instant pot and set the time between 8-10 hours. The longer it goes the more milk sugar is eaten by the live cultures. Cover during the process. If you want more protein/fat omit the condensed milk & set for 12 hrs

8) at the end pull the stainless steel sleeve out, cover, and place in the fridge to cool for several hours or overnight.
9) Fairlife is lactose free so no need to culture for 24 hours like you would another milk if you are lactose intolerant.

10) you can make tons of yogurt this way with only two ingredients, 1 half gallon (52 oz of fairlife) ultra pasteurized milk and 1 Tbs yogurt with live cultures. Your own yogurt cultures will last a week in the fridge or freeze in ice cube trays for longer storage.
11) Never buy yogurt again. Use all the extra money to pay for college and health insurance premiums.
Anyway I love the Borden story because this one fastidious clean person enforced his aesthetic all the way down the supply chain and revolutionized clean food, milk, and dairy farming.
