Half fill your yogurt jar with room temperature drinking water (15-20°C). Add the contents of the yogurt sachet, pop on the lid and give it a good shake. Add more water to the jar until it’s about 5mm from the top… pop on the lid and shake again. In response to questions in the comments, I have now tried making yoghurt using UHT milk, and I have to confess, this is now my favourite option. It is exactly the same as option 1, without the heating and cooling of the milk, and works perfectly. Now, the Easiyo Yogurt Maker is sold with the assumption that you will buy the Easiyo sachets to make your yoghurt with, not make it from scratch, but there is absolutely no reason you need to do it that way. Updated to add: The reason for cooling the milk all the way to cold is to ensure the heat from the boiling water is not enough to kill off the starter culture. However, my mother has reported only cooling to 40°C (which is the usual practice for making yogurt at home) with no issues. All EasiYo yogurts contain Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Some products also contain the Bifidobacteria strain. It’s the combination of cultures that gives our yogurt its wonderful taste and texture. Do EasiYo yogurt mixes contain gluten?

No, this product is not recommended for people with dairy or lactose allergies or intolerance. While there are no dairy ingredients in the recipe, it’s made on the same production line as our dairy based products so it may contain traces of dairy. Can you make a version with just Coconut and not Soya? When mangos, peaches etc are in season, buy plenty when they are nice and ripe, remove the skin (for peaches etc drop in boiling water for about 40 seconds and the skin peels off easy) slice into thin pieces, lay then put on a tray and freeze overnight (at least 4hrs). Experiment with the amount of sweetener you like to use. Two tablespoons is much less sweet than store bought yoghurt usually is, but still sweeter than some people like. Honey gives a quite different flavour compared to sugar. Do not use Xylitol, which seems to inhibit the bacteria from growing. I believe Stevia is the same. You can use them afterwards if you like. Our collection features a range of yogurt makers to suit your needs and preferences. From the classic EasiYo Yoghurt Maker to the mini version, we've got you covered. And with a variety of flavours to choose from, including natural, strawberry, and Greek-style, you can enjoy your favourite yogurt anytime, anywhere.

We have a Plant Based range launched! This range is made from Coconut & Soya. You can buy online from us here Can I recycle the yogurt sachets? There are different ways of flavouring your yoghurt, which can be done either before setting or afterwards, when serving. One common method is to stir in some jam or some fresh fruit when serving. Unfortunately, half of my family won’t eat yoghurt this way, having gotten too use to the store bought extra sweet stuff. So for them, I sweeten before setting. The two preferred flavours I’ve made this way are lemon (which I love) and vanilla. Hmm, no. We don’t recommend eating anything after its best before date. I’ve made my yogurt, yum! How will it keep? For the same reasons as everyone else, I am here to avoid having to buy the sachets, and do things the old fashioned way, which is hopefully healthier.

Also I thought some people may be interested to hear of my husbands recent trip to the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. He was invited to stay in a Ger, which is a nomadic tent style of housing in the middle of literally nowhere, with a family for a few nights, along with the goats and animals etc. the old grandma in the family made yoghurt every night from horsemilk or goat milk in a container left out. She had been using the same culture that had been handed on from her mother, and would continue to be handed on the her children. No fridge, no easyyo, no sachets… Of course being my husband he didn’t take notes, but he did say it was horrible and had to refuse seconds 🙂 Our Alternative to Yogurt is called Plant Based because the main ingredients used are plant based ingredients. There are no animal or dairy based ingredients used in the recipe. However, it is manufactured on the same line that produces our dairy yogurts (after extensive cleaning of course). Due to this there is a small chance that there may be traces of dairy present and is not suitable for someone with a milk / dairy allergy, which is why we call it Plant Based. Is EasiYo Plant Based Alternative to Yogurt suitable for vegans? What I tend to do is to keep a couple of their flavoured sachets in the cupboard for special treats (for flavours that I haven’t figured out how to make myself), or for when I run out of yoghurt for my starter or have no milk (or milk powder) to spare. Put the frozen pieces into Ziploc bags, and store in the freezer. Or blend and freeze into ice cubes if you don’t want chunks. The rest of the time I make my yoghurt from scratch, using one of the following methods (usually variation 2, in fact). My kids go through a lot of yoghurt, so making it from scratch saves me a lot of money, plus I like being in control of exactly what goes into it.( Note: I’ve now added a Making Yoghurt at Home FAQ & Troubleshooting guide.) Making yoghurt from scratch using fresh milkAbsolutely. EasiYo yogurt is just like any other yogurt and fine for pregnant women to eat when prepared and stored as directed. Is EasiYo yogurt suitable for people who are lactose intolerant or allergic to cow's milk? I’m currently trying my second attempt at making without a whole sachet… last time I tried uht milk with yoghurt from a previous batch but no powdered milk (it was sold out!) which was a bit runny for me but my daughter has been enjoying that.. Now I have a batch going with all powdered milk using some of a natural Greek sachet for the culture.. crossing fingers! Yes, our newer design jars can be used in our older style yogurt makers. If you need some extra jars, you can buy them online here. Can I use a glass jar in the EasiYo Maker?
