This is not some special recipe to make. By far the best and Cheap Probiotic food.
Mix 7 teaspoons of Miso paste in 1.5 ltrs of warm water, throughly mix it well. And store in a Juice Can and keep in refrigerator. Drink 100 ml or 200 ml a day or whenever you get time take out of the refrigerator and drink couple of sips. Comes for 1 week.
This gives you Trillions of beneficial bacteria and yeast. The taste is bit salty but very good for health. For me it is delicious.
Remember, it should be a good organic miso.
I bought organic imported Japanese Miso in Big Carrot. For 7 dollars, just a small container. You can make 5 - 7 batches of juices.
So, if you calculate the price per serving it is damn cheap than a probiotic pill.
Just a couple of sips can provide whole lots of nutrition and probiotics.
I always buy Red Miso, coz it is made with Soya and Brown Rice. Brown Rice has the complete Amino Acid profile and bioavailable. Which means it is easily absorbed by the body. Amino acid is the basic building blocks of the body.
Miso, is a very complex fermented food, research are very less on it. As it is made with real sea salt, you can get Boron, Iodine which are necessary for the body. Boron and Iodine are what we are deficient in North America today.
Natural Sodium Chloride to promote stomach acid HCL secretion.
I respect and Salute Japanese Heritage.
Good Health

1)a crock pot
2)milk-any kind you wish, I started off with whole milk
3)yogurt starter- you can use the probiotic package kind from a health food store, or just go out and buy an 8 oz. PLAIN dannon for a starter (starters add probiotics to get the culture STARTED. ) save a cup at the end for the next batch. Prep time is approx. 10 min total
STEPS:
1)BOIL WATER TO SANITIZE CROCKPOT-OPTIONAL
2)put milk in crockpot and turn "ON":ANY KIND OF MILK- (1ST TIMERS USE WHOLE MILK)
a)high for 1-1/2 hrs. Or:
b)low for 2-1/2 hrs.
3)turn crockpot "OFF" for--- 3HRS. ----- and let cool to 170 degrees (the purpose thus far is to have killed ANY bad bacteria-personally I've never used the thermometer just strictly followed the recipe (cooling is imperative or your yogurt will not culture.
4)after the three hours take lid off of crockpot and add starter--stir with wisk to get starter thoroughly mixed in. 5)take a clean bathtowel and cover the whole crockpot and let sit for 8-9 hours to culture the probiotics. The longer the more sour the taste( some people prefer more sour)
Milk to starter ratio: 1Gal. milk=1cup starter
1/2gal.milk=1/2cup starter
and so on.......
6)To refridgerate: take a collander and a bowl... (bowl preferably larger than the collander)flip a small salad bowl upside down to elevate the collander-line the colander with coffee filters, or cheese cloth (I used a new t-shirt washed and bleached). And let the whey protein (chock full of amino acids that are good for you)drain out into the big bowl-the longer drain= thicker yogurt (I like it thick like greek yogurt). The amino acid filled whey can be drunk, added to recipes requiring water(baking), boil pasta in it etc.. If you don't like plain, put honey or fruit on top yum! Once you do this a couple of times it is so simple. I wanted to share this recipe with earthclinic readers because of the health benefits to me personally and hopefully to others:
1)reduces acid reflux
2)probiotics loosen stool (not diarreah)like popular yogurt advertised on t. V. Haha!
3)can be used in female remedies
4) so satisfying it can be used in weight control by diabetics who eat small meals.
5)used by people w/ gastrointesinal issues
6)when using lower fat milk(have'nt tried skim yet), can be used as a delicious alternative in soups, casseroles, desserts etc. To lower total fat intake. Aside from being very healthy it is easier on the pocketbook. I make homemade yogurt for approx.. 60 cents a quart versus $6. 00 a quart at the grocery store. God Bless and have fun with it!

The outbreaks of my cold sores usually happens after the intake of antibiotics which usually breaks down the friendly bacterias so the acidophilus regularises the friendly bacterias and it's a great digestive support.
