Easiyo

[AliB]

Thanks Netix, that sounds great and very easy! DP and I love our yoghurt, we'll give this a go some day.

[Netix]

You're very welcome! I'm not sure how well it would work if you put fruit or other flavours like honey in before it had set, but this way does work. And its so much more economical than buying yoghurt every week.

Oh, you could make in smaller tubs/containers to put in your lunch box (bento thinking here, sorry!), as long as you wrap it up really well. It just has to cool *REALLY* slowly to do its 'thing'.

OK so you guys got me inspired and I got an Easiyo. We buy Jalna for DS and ourselves (other youghurt just tastes like confectionary now!), and it's costing us a fortune. Won't take long for it to pay for it I'm just waiting to use up the last of the Jalna before I try making it - how sensible

How does the Easiyo stack up against Jalna? I got the natural one which I plan to sweeten with fruit purees when serving. I might even try making it without the packets one day!

You should try making yoghurt without an easiyo! You don't need the packets.

I plan to use the Easiyo maker (which essentially is a container inside a flask of boiling water) via your method Netix, sounds just as easy really.
Just want to use up the packets first...
I made Mum some Greek Yoghurt today, didnt try it but she will report back on the taste.

Tish - the sweetened ones are quite sweet (children LOVE IT) and the unsweetened ones have less flavour (as in strawberry or apricot) if you are buying the packets, go for the sweet ones if thats your thing, or get the unsweetened PLAIN ones and then sweeten, not worth getting unsweetened flavoured ones IMO...

I will report back once i have tried it out with milk and a bit of starter...

[Netix]

Good luck!

Thanks Sammiejane At the moment DS is not allowed added cane sugar and I"m also wary of flavourings etc, poor little deprived child that he is The flavourings all look as natural as possible, so I'd be happy to eat them myself though! So we went for the natural full fat one which I'm going to flavour with fruit for him.

I've got my first batch on tonight! I plan to then use a bit of this batch to make yoghurt with Netix's method next time and the time after, and then use another packet again.

Compared to the cost of Jalna this is going to be soooo cheap!

I'm such a hippy First home made bread now this. Poor DS is gonna get hell when he's going to school LOL
