使用 Cuckoo 多功能电饭煲制作酸奶非常简单，而且能够制作出美味的奶油状酸奶。以下是一个简单的食谱，仅需要几个食材和内置的酸奶功能。
Ingredients:
1 liter of plain milk
300 ml of plain yogurt (with live active cultures)
Optional: Osmanthus Honey
Instructions:
1. Combine Milk and Yogurt: Pour 1 liter of plain milk into the Cuckoo multi cooker. Add 300 ml of plain yogurt (with live active cultures) into the milk. Stir well to ensure that the yogurt is evenly mixed with the milk.
2. Set the Yogurt Function: Close the lid and press the ‘Yogurt’ button on your Cuckoo multi cooker. The cooker will automatically set the time to 6 hours for the fermentation process.
3. Let It Set: After 6 hours, your yogurt will be ready! You can leave it for a little longer if you prefer a thicker consistency.
4. Refrigerate: Once the yogurt has set, transfer it to containers and refrigerate for a few hours to let it firm up further and enhance the flavor. Serve with fruits and honey.
食材:
1 公升全脂牛奶
300 毫升原味酸奶（含活性益生菌）
可选：桂花蜜
做法：
1. 将牛奶和酸奶混合：将 1 公升全脂牛奶倒入 Cuckoo 多功能电饭煲中。加入 300 毫升原味酸奶（确保使用含活性益生菌的酸奶）。搅拌均匀，确保酸奶完全与牛奶混合。
2. 设置酸奶功能：盖上锅盖，按下 Cuckoo 多功能电饭煲上的“酸奶”按钮。煲会自动设置为 6 小时进行发酵。
3. 等待酸奶成型：6 小时后，酸奶就做好了！如果您喜欢酸奶更加浓稠，可以适当延长时间。
4. 冷藏：酸奶完成后，将其转移到容器中，冷藏几个小时，使其更加浓稠，并增强风味。吃的时候，加喜欢的水果和蜂蜜。
Why Use Store-Bought Yogurt for Making Homemade Yogurt?
The key to making yogurt at home is the use of store-bought yogurt with live active cultures. These cultures are the bacteria that help ferment the milk, turning it into yogurt. The beauty of using just 300 ml of store-bought yogurt is that it allows you to create 3 times the amount of yogurt (about 1 liter of homemade yogurt).
Not only is this more cost-effective, but homemade yogurt is also tastier and healthier than many store-bought options. Here’s why:
1. Taste: When you make yogurt at home, you can control the flavor and texture. Homemade yogurt is often fresher and creamier, with a richer taste than what you might find in a store. Plus, you can adjust the fermentation time to make it as tangy or mild as you like.
2. Healthier: Homemade yogurt doesn’t contain any added preservatives, artificial sweeteners, or excess sugar, which are often found in commercial yogurt. Additionally, since you’re using only milk and plain yogurt with live cultures, it’s a healthier option with natural probiotics, which are great for gut health.
为什么使用商店购买的酸奶来制作自制酸奶？
商店购买的酸奶是制作自制酸奶的关键，因为它含有活性益生菌，这些益生菌在发酵过程中至关重要。它们帮助发酵牛奶中的乳糖，将其转化为酸奶，并赋予酸奶特有的奶油质地和酸味。使用仅 300 毫升的商店酸奶，您就可以制作三倍量的酸奶（约 1 公升自制酸奶）。不仅如此，自己制作的酸奶更加美味和健康，以下是原因：
1. 口感：自制酸奶能够更好地控制风味和质地。自制酸奶通常比商店购买的酸奶更新鲜、更奶油，口感更加丰富，您还可以根据发酵时间的长短调整酸奶的酸味。
2. 健康：自制酸奶不含任何防腐剂、人工甜味剂或多余的糖分，这些通常存在于商店购买的酸奶中。此外，使用原味酸奶和活性益生菌制作的自制酸奶对肠道健康特别有益。
With this simple recipe, you get fresh, creamy, and customizable yogurt every time, and you only need a small amount of store-bought yogurt to make much more. Enjoy it as a snack, dessert, or topping for your favorite dishes!
用这个简单的食谱，您可以每次享用新鲜、奶油、可调味的酸奶，而且仅需要少量的商店酸奶就能制作更多自制酸奶。享受这款自制酸奶作为小吃、甜点或各种菜肴的配料吧！
Tips: Do not use pasteurized, low fat or flavored milk. Plain yogurt with live culture. Do not use flavor or low fat yogurt.
温馨贴士：请勿使用巴氏杀菌奶、低脂奶或调味奶。使用原味酸奶，且确保含有活性益生菌。请勿使用调味酸奶或低脂酸奶。
