Ingredients
  

  • 1 can of coconut milk preservative-free
  • 2 tablespoon of culture

Equipment

  • mason jars

Directions
 

  1. Stir the coconut milk and culture together in a glass jar.
  2. Mesophilic cultures (milk kefir, water kefir, or kombucha): leave the jar on the counter at room temperature for 24 hours.
  3. Thermophilic cultures (vegan yogurt, dairy yogurt, or a probiotic supplement): warm the coconut milk to 110 F (40 C), stir in the culture, and keep it at that temperature for 10 hours.

Notes

Refrigerate after fermenting. Keep thermophilic cultures at or below 110 F (overheating kills the culture; use medium, not high, on an Instant Pot). Use fresh culture each batch (vegan yogurt tubs can be portioned and frozen); probiotic supplements are often not strong enough. Canned coconut milk with sulfites may not ferment. Use a clean spoon each time you taste. Do not eat coconut milk that soured unintentionally. Discard if moldy or off-smelling. Allergy: tree nut labeling (coconut).
