Lovely to hear from you. I apologise ...Hi Helena,<br /><br />Lovely to hear from you. I apologise for not replying sooner but as I am new to the world of blogging I only just realised you had left a comment.<br /><br />I have read a bit about kefir and how to make it, however my aim was to make a non dairy yoghurt as I really do consider dairy to be non essential in our diet. Do you know if you can use kefir grains instead of a powdered yoghurt culture/starter?<br /><br />Take care<br />LucyLucy Pattenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447954419384294054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486995545920798779.post-6565671783258405762012-01-08T20:29:17.137+11:002012-01-08T20:29:17.137+11:00Have you tried raw milk kefir and allowing it to p...Have you tried raw milk kefir and allowing it to progress to a yoghurt consistency? - using raw milk ensures all the beneficial enzymes are still intact (not killed by pasteurisation - the cause of a lot of lactose intolerance) & using the kefir grains digests the lactose in the milk - I have read that a lot of people who consider themselves lactose intolerant do quite well with kefir.Helena Denleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17730300541541633105noreply@blogger.com
