Thanks for the advice in this thread. I had no idea you could make your own yoghurt. I went to Damasco and bought a small jar of their yoghurt (25 pesos). I mixed about 1 dl of it with 9 dl of 3% UHT-milk and heated it to ca 45 degrees Celsius (hot but not burning when you stick a finger in it) and put the result in a thermos, which I got at the local Bazar at 50 pesos. Subsequently, I save 1 dl of each batch in the freezer to be able to replicate the process.

After keeping the thermos for 12-24 hours in room temperature, I put the yoghurt in another container in the fridge to settle. The result is more or less like the stuff I can buy in supermarkets in Europe. Depending on the time in the thermos the result gets more or less acidic. Mixing with a little bit of the "postre" stuff they sell in supermercados (Yogurisimo) it's quite enjoyable.

I'm gonna venture and make my own yogurt one day. In the mean time, anyone knows of a place where I can get plain/natural yogurt or "greek" yogurt in the area marked on the map? (congreso-once-independencia)

Can you share your recipe? I'd like to make it with nonfat milk. Thanks!
