Homemade Coconut yoghurt

Easier to make than you think, and so good for you and your pocket.

What do you need?
1. A Thermometer.
2. Some very clean mason jars.
3. A starter culture. 
I used Mad Millie Kefir Culture Blend
4. 2 cans coconut milk
5 Saucepan
For Flavored or more set style yoghurt  you will also need
6 Gelatine optional
7 vanilla optional
8 Maple Syrup optional
9 Lemon Zest optional

1. Clean all utensils, pans and jars before starting.  A dishwasher wash can do this, otherwise, boils jars and lids in a pan with a small amount of water in the base of the pan.
2. Gently heat the coconut milk to 43C (110F).  Add a tablespoon of
maple syrup, and a teaspoon of vanilla bean extract. Grate in the zest of half a lemon. Add gelatine powder (if you wish to have a more set Yoghurt. (Refer to the instructions on your gelatine powder for amounts needed)

3. Reserve about a quarter of the mixture to one side and let cool.
Add the kefir Culture and stir.

4.  Pour both sets of the mixture into a bowl and mix together.  Mix thoroughly and pour into a larger glass jar and top with a lid or several smaller jars with lids.

5. Leave on the counter top or in a chilly bin to set overnight.

6. Will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks. The yoghurt can be eaten after the first 12 hours, but the flavour and texture are thicker and more yoghurty after an extra day in the fridge.

TIP: If the mixture becomes grey or discoloured discard. It means there may have been bacteria in the jar or cooking utensils. This is why clean jars and utensils is essential

Shot a while ago, over the weekend of my birthda
Shot a while ago, over the weekend of my birthday in New Plymouth. A series of minimalist moments of 'ordinary beauty', evoking a calm simplicity.  
As we left our airbnb, just after we arrived, the front of the building was painted in the most amazing peach/pink paint with splashes of soft turquoise. It had a big crack in the window frame surround and the metal had leaked a rust pattern over the soft colours.  Set against concrete skies and black sands, my eyes seemed to be drawn to soft colours and any moment of gentle decay.
The New Plymouth series is a study of rust patterns, crumbling brickwork, worn paint or ageing typography.  I'm as fascinated by 'modern' decay as some of the relics I've photographed in Pompeii. 
Available on my site to order.

Shot a while ago, over the weekend of my birthday in New Plymouth. A series of minimalist moments of ordinary beauty . Set against concrete skies and black sands, my eyes seemed to be drawn to soft colours and any moment of gentle decay or abstraction. The wonderful undulating exterior of the Len Lye gallery helped with this.

Sometimes at the end of a day, exploring a city on
Sometimes at the end of a day, exploring a city on foot, and leisurely observing life just quietly going on around me. I download my shots and realise that unconsciously, I've either been collecting the same colour palette or a particular angle or style of architecture all day.  The mind is a curious thing.
