How to Make Japanese Calpis Yogurt Flavored Drink
- In a double boiler, combine 1 cup plain yogurt and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
- Heat the mixture gently, stirring constantly, for 15-20 minutes, maintaining a temperature between 160°F (71°C) and 175°F (79°C). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
- **Do not boil!** Remove from heat immediately if the mixture begins to boil.
- Let the syrup cool completely to room temperature. Once cool, whisk in 1 teaspoon citric acid powder and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- To serve, mix 1 part syrup with 3-4 parts water or club soda. Adjust the ratio to your preferred sweetness and tartness.
- Serve chilled over ice. Garnish with a lemon wedge or fresh berries (optional).
