Homemade Slow Cooker Ryazhenka: A Nutritious Fermented Milk Drink

A delicious and healthy natural homemade milk drink! Ryazhenka is a very healthy fermented milk drink with a pleasant taste and delicate creamy color. Ryazhenka can be easily purchased in a store. However, such a home-made drink will undoubtedly differ in quality, taste and freshness from the factory-made one. Homemade fermented baked milk can be safely given to small children without fear for their health. In addition, fermented baked milk should be included in the menu for people with liver diseases, biliary tract diseases, obesity and others. The process of preparing fermented baked milk is long, but not labor-intensive, especially with such a kitchen assistant as a multicooker.

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Letʼs prepare the ingredients for fermented baked milk. There are only two of them: milk and sourdough. To prepare fermented baked milk, you must use whole cowʼs milk, purchased in a store or from farmers. Sourdough can be bought in a store or pharmacy, it comes in liquid and powder, and there is a special one for making fermented baked milk.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour the milk into the multicooker bowl. We select the “stew” or “soup” program depending on the brand of the multicooker. Milk may escape during cooking, so there is no need to immediately close the multicooker with a lid. Bring the milk to a boil, stirring constantly.

Step 3

Step 3
Then close the multicooker with a lid and leave the milk to simmer for 5 hours. This time can be reduced if you select the “steaming” program and boil the milk under an open lid, the milk will quickly acquire a creamy color, 40 minutes will be enough, but it will reduce significantly in volume than with prolonged stewing.

Step 4

Step 4
Then turn off the multicooker and let the milk cool slightly. Only after this do we add the starter, otherwise the milk bacteria may die in the hot milk.

Step 5

Step 5
Stir the mixture, it will lighten a little. The amount of starter required for the resulting volume of baked milk must be taken according to the instructions indicated on the package of the starter. Now select the “yogurt” multicooker program for 8 hours. If this is not the case, then you can use the “multi-cook” program with a temperature of 40 degrees. The cooking time is also 8 hours. After cooking, the fermented baked milk needs to be cooled in the refrigerator so that it thickens.

Step 6

Step 6
And if a glass of fermented baked milk is complemented with a fresh homemade bun, you will get a very tasty, healthy and nutritious breakfast or snack between main meals. Bon appetit!
