Instant Pot Yakult Probiotic Drink Recipe (Yogurt Drink)

Method

• 1)

  Pour 1 Cup of Water and 1½ Cups Granulated Sugar into the Instant Pot. Choose Saute, and stir until the sugar is dissolved (don’t let the water boil). Press Cancel to turn off Sauté mode and add 2 Cups of Water and wait until the water has cooled to luke warm – if the water is too hot, this can cause the milk to curdle. Add ½ Gallon Fat Free Milk and lastly add 2 80ml Bottles of Yakult and stir well. Seal the Instant Pot lid.

• 2)

  Choose the Yogurt setting and make sure it’s on Medium / Normal and set for 20 Hours (you can culture up to 24 hours to make a tangier version).  Open the lid & whisk the mixture about half way though incubation, then close the lid again.  When it’s done, add ½ Teaspoon Vanilla Extract, ½ Cup Orange Juice, 4 Teaspoons Lemon Juice and stir very well with a whisk or blend until it looks smooth and homogenous. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. It’s normal for the drink to separate in the fridge since we can’t homogenize the mixture like they do at the factory, so shake or stir before drinking and enjoy within 10-14 days.

  **You can save ⅔ Cups from this batch to culture you next batch, just make it within 7 days. You can do this 1-2 times before needing to use a fresh starter from the bottles again.
