Goat Milk Yogurt Recipe
Yogurt Recipe
By Kathleen
2 envelopes of Knox unflavored gelatine
1/2 C of yogurt from the store or from a previous batch
Directions
Before heating up your milk, make sure that everything is clean and have been washed properly. Fill up your non-electric food grade YOGOTHERM liner container with hot water. This will preheat your insulated yogurt maker.
In a stainless steel pot, heat the milk to about 150 degrees. Turn off the heat. Using a wire whisk, stir in the two unflavored gelatine packets into the milk. This is the secret to having firm yogurt. I then wait until the temperature reaches 121 degrees and stir in the 1/2 cup of yogurt culture from a previous batch or from the store. It is important not to add the yogurt culture until the temperature is in the 119-121 degree range. If it is hotter, it will kill the yogurt culture and if it is lower than 119 degrees, than it will not make the yogurt. I then pour the milk mixture into my YOGOTHERM yogurt maker.(More on this below.) Now place the whole yogurt maker into the refrigerator and wait over night.
Your yogurt will now be ready to be used in smoothies or to be enjoyed with some fresh fruit and nuts served on top.
I purchased my non-electric YOGOTHERM about 10 years ago from Hoeggers Goat Supply Company and it has held up fabulously. It is insulated to retain the necessary temperature for hours.1-800-221-4628 www.HoeggerGoatSupply.com. They sell it for $36.55.
I recommend using an instant thermometer that has about a 5 inch probe . It reads the temperature easily and can be used for many uses besides cooking. I have used it to check our pool temperature, air temperature, soil temperature, etc.
This process of making yogurt works every time for me and is the easiest method that I have found. I've experimented with many ways. So I hope it will work for you too.

Goat Milk Soap For Acne - Goat Milk Soap Recipes
By Marie Ackland
Handmade soap products are an excellent alternative to the mass produced alternatives you'll find in the skin product section of your local supermarket or pharmacy, and goat milk soap is one of the best natural products for helping prevent and treat acne.
When you're looking for a good goat milk soap for acne or other skin problems, make sure that it does not contain artificial coloring or preservatives and that it does contain 100% goat milk. Making your own goat milk soap for acne treatment is a good option, to ensure that you are only using the most natural ingredients.
So why is goat milk soap good for acne, as well as eczema and dermatitis? Research has shown that goat milk soap, when properly made, has a pH level close to that of your own skin and that it contains vitamins and other skin nourishing nutrients. The reason that it is beneficial in the treatment of acne is that the goat milk soap contains an acidic property which helps neutralize the bacteria while still allowing your skin to retain its moisture.
Goat milk soap for acne treatment can be handmade at home, using the cold process of soap making. This involves mixing lye and water with fat or oil, and adding this to the cold goat milk. For acne problems, using oils - palm oil, olive oil and coconut oil - in the soap will give it a moisturizing feeling. Once the soap mixture has been blended to trace, you can add fragrance oils or essential oils for scenting the goat milk soap. The soap is then poured into a mold to let it set, and after it has been cut into bars it is left to be cured for around 3 weeks.
Another way to make your own goat milk soap is to use the melt and pour method, where you buy the glycerin soap base instead of having to start from scratch with the lye solution. The soap base is melted and the goat milk is added, again with scented oils for fragrance.
As well as using goat milk soap for acne prevention or treatment, it can also be used to soothe other skin problems and is great for using on sensitive skin. Easy recipes for goat milk soap for acne, either using the cold process or melt and pour methods, are widely available and come in all shapes and quantities. If you are going to buy goat milk soap for acne problems, look for a genuine homemade soap and make sure it doesn't have any unwanted additives.
Marie Ackland - Soap making was originally a hobby of mine that gave me great pleasure, theres something quite satisfying about creating from scratch a beautifully scented bar of soap.
It then turned into a full time passion, creating wonderful soap for family and friends to enjoy. When a friend suggested I take some along to a local craft fair, which I did and from that day on I never looked back. I now have a great soap business which makes a healthy profit and gives me great satisfaction.
So now 20 years on from my first batch I love to teach the art of soap making. It can be frustrating at first but if you learn the fundamentals and put into practice my methods you WILL have great soap every time.

Goat Milk Soap Recipe - Easy And Fast!
By Al Bullington
Soap making is an easy and fun craft hobby. But soap making can be a great part-time business. Many folks pull in an extra thousand or two a month with a part-time venture.
What's the appeal of handcrafted soap? Commercial soaps are usually drying and many are actually synthetic detergents. Your kitchen crafted soap can work better. It has a special, moisturizing luxury feel. Plus you have the option of customizing it with different ingredients ... especially scents in literally infinite variety. This can be a goat milk soap recipe or any other kind of milk as well.
This gives you one of our proven recipes and the basic instructions to put it all together.
Our specialty is milk soap. We made over 30,000 bars of soap like this in our kitchen sink over a four-year period. We sold all that soap at craft shows and festivals and through our own catalog. Though you can make soap using water instead of milk, you will like the milk soap better ... guaranteed!!!
Lightly Lavender Goat Milk Soap Recipe
11.3 ounces (320 grams) Coconut Oil
11.7 ounces (330 grams) Palm Oil
15.5 ounces (440 grams) Olive Oil
3.9 ounces (110 grams) Almond Oil
6.1 ounces (175 grams) Sodium Hydroxide
15.5 ounces (440 grams) Whole Milk
2 1/3 Tablespoons Lavender Essential Oil
1 Tablespoon Almond Oil
Now for some "inside information". To make any soap, you mix fats and an alkali or lye. All soap is made that way. The cured product is harmless. You can brush your teeth with it. You can even eat it. It won't hurt you!
But the lye and the uncured soap mixture are very caustic. It will burn your skin. It will blind you if it gets in your eyes! You absolutely must wear goggles when you make soap and it's best to wear rubber gloves and long sleeves too.
Equipment You Will Need
2 Stainless Steel Pans
1 Plastic Pan
Rubber Spatula
Thermometer (90-200 degree F Range)
Scale For Weighing Material
Molds For Soap (Plastic Tub)
Hand Held Stick Blender (Optional)
Soap Making Step-by-Step
1. Weigh oils and combine in stainless steel pan.
2. Heat slowly until everything melts. Cool to about 110 degrees. Do not include the scent oil or the small amount of almond oil.
3. Weigh lye in a plastic container. Remember the gloves and goggles.
4. Weigh milk and pour into a separate stainless steel pan.
5. Put 2-3 inches of water in your sink and add ice cubes. Put your pan with milk into ice water.
6. Slowly pour the lye into the milk. Take twenty minutes to do this, stirring all the while. Monitor the milk temperature and keep it below 150 degrees so it does not burn. When all the lye is added, let the mixture cool until it is 110 degrees.
7. Add the lye/milk mixture to the oils, stirring while you do so; now stir the soap mixture until it begins to gel. It's time to stop stirring when a thin stream of soap drizzled on top of the soap
mixture lays on top. This is called tracing. If stirring by hand this may take 45 minutes. To speed things up the trick is to use your hand blender to stir the soap for 30 seconds, let it rest for a minute and repeat until it traces.
8. Add scent oils and the extra almond oil.
9. Pour into prepared molds. Let sit for 24 hours. Remove from molds. Cut into bars and set aside to cure for 4 weeks.
These are basic instructions. Lots of soap making books are out there, but many make it so complicated it's tough to get going. Even if you consult some of those books, return to these instructions for the basics. Try this recipe. You will love the results.
Al Bullington has made and sold soap for years through his family soap business.
There are insider "secrets" for making and marketing soap that are hard to find. Find out more about them here: [http://www.soapbizkit.com]Click Here!

Medicinal Properties of Goat Milk
By Thenmozhi Kathirvelu
The importance of feeding of infants with goat milk has been recognized since ancient days. In developed countries like U.S and South Africa, the goat milk is specifically marketed for the infants. The milk allergy problem common in infants fed with cow milk is rarely encountered when replaced with goat milk and it plays an important role in the formulation of infant formula. This is a proof of the medicinal property of goat milk.
The symptoms like gastrointestinal disturbances, vomiting, colic, diarrhoea, constipation and respiratory problems can be eliminated when goat milk is fed to the infants. The reason cited for the relief in respiratory problems when fed with goat milk can be attributed to the structure of casein micelle of the goat milk. Pasteurized goat milk is well tolerated by the infants with gastro intestinal or respiratory symptoms. Fermented goat milk products are ideal for the persons allergic to cow milk.
The goat milk is naturally homogenized. It forms a soft curd when compared to cow milk and hence helps in easy digestion and absorption. Regular intake of goat milk significantly improves the body weight gain, improved mineralization of skeleton, increased blood serum vitamin, mineral and haemoglobin levels. These points are considered advantageous when compared to consumption of cow milk.
The other medicinal property of goat milk is higher concentration of medium chain fatty acids which play an important role in imparting unique health benefits in mal-absorption syndrome, steatorrhoea, chyluria, hyperlipoproteinaemia and during conditions of cystic fibrosis, gall stones and childhood epilepsy. The medium chain fatty acids minimize cholesterol deposition in the arteries, aid in dissolving cholesterol and gallstones and significantly contribute to normal growth of infants. http://www.dairyforall.com http://www.dairyforall.com/goatmilk-medicine.php

Why Goat's Milk
By Brad Pilon
Whenever someone asks me what they can do to improve their nutrition, I almost always answer that they should try new foods, and try to introduce as much variety into their diet as possible. If I'm pushed for an example, I always say "Goat's Milk".
Usually, I get some funny faces, followed by "Why goat's milk?"
Why Goat's Milk?
Well, firstly, because most of us have been drinking cow's milk since the age of two. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against cow's milk per Se, except that for many of us, this means we have been drinking it for more than a couple decades! So switching it up for a change may not be a bad idea.
Aside from the novelty, here are a couple more reasons that goat's milk deserves a fair test...
Goat's milk is the milk of choice in most of the world.
Because the protein in goat's milk has a different make-up than the protein in cow's milk, many people with cow milk allergies can tolerate drinking goat's milk .
Compared to cow's milk, goat's milk has similar amounts of protein, fat, iron, vitamin C and vitamin D. Goat milk has more natural vitamin A, more vitamin B , and less lactose.
Unlike cow's milk there is no need to homogenize goat's milk. While the fat globules in cow's milk tend to separate to the surface, the globules in goat's milk are much smaller and will remain suspended in solution.
So give goat's milk a try. I'm not claiming that goat's milk is some miracle food, but rather that it's a tasty drink with health benefits that many people are missing out on.

Goats Milk - A Magic Bullet For Skin Care?
By Roger Cantrell
Goat milk has long taken a back seat to the cows variety, but the benefits of drinking it are far greater than with cows milk.
If you are a person that has skin problems like psoriasis or eczema then this could be for you.
The domestic goat is a subspecies domesticated from the wild variety from southwest Asia and Eastern Europe and are one of the oldest domesticated species, and For thousands of years have been used for their milk hide meat etc, (Queen Cleopatra from ancient Egypt used to bathe in goat milk) The goat is a member of the Bovidae family and is closely related to sheep, both being in the antelope subfamily Caprinae.
Milk production varies with the breed, age, quality, and diet of the doe; dairy goats generally produce between 600 to 1,750 Liters per year.
Some goats are bred for milk, which can be drunk fresh, although pasteurization would be recommended to reduce naturally occurring bacteria, and it is also commonly processed into cheese, where small commercial operations offer goat butter and ice cream.
The benefits of using goat milk are as follows .. Because most humans lose the ability to fully digest milk after childhood (that is, they become lactose intolerant or have C.M.A. (see above)
Then the milk from the humble goat could be the answer to your intolerance problems because it contains less lactose (Lactose is a composite of two simple sugars, glucose and galactose)
than cow's milk so is less likely to trigger any intolerance. The milk is naturally homogenized since it lacks the protein agglutinin and the curd is much smaller.
Other qualities it has also is a very similar makeup (percentage of fats, etc.) to human milk than cow's and it also contains 20% less cholesterol than cows milk.
Goat butter is white when compared to the yellow butter derived from cow's milk because the goat produces milk with the yellow beta-carotene converted to a colorless form of vitamin A.
Some people are put off using these products but the benefits far outweigh any miss givings that you may have. I wholeheartedly recommend drinking and using goat products as I myself have been using them for quite a while and can state that that it does in fact have great beneficial effects if you suffer from skin problems such as eczema.
