Ingredients

  • 1 l pasteurized milk (room temperature)
  • 3-4 tbsp sour cream

OR

  • 3-4 tbsp curd from the previous batch

Instructions

  • Remove sour cream from the fridge and leave for 10 minutes at room temperature so that it warms up.
  • Pour milk in the pan and slowly heat it to 70 -80 degrees F.
  • Remove milk off the heat to avoid any further temperature rise.
  • Add sour cream to the milk and mix thoroughly.
  • Set aside in a warm place for 24-48 hours.
  • During this time, the milk should become sour. It will change its consistency, and its smell.
  • Sour cream must have live strains of bacteria, otherwise the milk will not acidify and become bitter. Milk pasteurized at low temperature does not contain bacteria. This is the reason, we acidify them by adding sour cream. Bacteria of pure lactic acid fermentation prevent the growth of butyric acid bacteria or putrefactive bacteria that cause milk bitter.
