Notes
Tip
Easiyo real base and culture is intended for you to use the entire sachet for a batch of yoghurt but I have discovered that using just 2-3 tablespoons is enough to give you a great yoghurt if you add extra milk powder. This makes it a lot cheaper.
Tip
When you open the base sachet you will need to store the remainder in an airtight container in the refrigerator for further use.
Tip
I purchased my Easiyo yoghurt maker for around $20 but you can also buy an electric yoghurt maker from Kmart for less than $20.
Tip
Some people are happy with using yoghurt that has only cultured for 12-14 hours but I make yoghurt after dinner everyday so I can leave mine the full 24 hours. It gives you a thick and creamy consistency that is full of healthy lactobacillus with no added thickeners or preservatives.
Variation
This yoghurt is unsweetened and if you would like a sweetened yoghurt, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar to the canister when mixing in the milk powder and starter.
Variation
3 tablespoons from the previous batch of yoghurt is sufficient culture to start your next batch of yoghurt. This works well but sometimes can be inconsistent which is why I use the starter sachet.
Storage
Remove and refrigerate. Keeps for seven days.
