Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 ml Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Agar-agar powder
- 2 Probiotic capsules
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 800 ml of coconut milk and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of agar-agar powder over the coconut milk and whisk continuously until the powder is completely dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to about 37°C (98.6°F), close to body temperature.
Open 2 probiotic capsules and stir the probiotic powder into the cooled coconut milk mixture until fully combined.
Transfer the mixture into a clean glass or ceramic bowl.
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or a lid that allows air circulation, and let it sit in a warm place for 12-24 hours to ferment. A switched-off oven or a warm spot on your countertop works best.
After the fermentation period, the yogurt should have thickened. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to enhance the tanginess of the yogurt.
Chop 1 tablespoon each of fresh dill, parsley, and mint finely. Stir the chopped herbs into the yogurt and add 0.5 teaspoon of salt to taste.
Refrigerate the herb-infused yogurt for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy your dairy-free herb-infused yogurt as a standalone snack or with your favorite dishes.
