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
well, you girls inspired me to get off my butt & get into the whole Easiyo thing.....OMG, where has it been all my life, we're all loving it. DH even made a batch! Not quite organised/game enough to be as good as Netix just yet, maybe one day
Netix I'm going to try making yoghurt the way you suggested because
a) I'm tight - a litre of milk is cheaper than the easiyo sachet
b) interested to know if it will be yummier using fresh milk
I'm still going to use the easiyo container though - should I fill the container up with tepid water to use that to insulate it? Or just leave the container empty and put the whole thing somewhere warm?
Hmm. I wouldn't worry about filling the easiyo with anything. Just wrap it up with a towel or similar. You just want it to cool down REALLY slow. If you were to fill it with anything, it would have to be hot water, as tepid would cook the mixture down too fast I think. Like I said, I just use a 1 litre yoghurt (yoplait) container, as they are really sturdy. A jalna tub would be just as good, or any yoghurt tub, as long as it has a lid (just think though, the less liquid-tight the lid, the more careful you have to be wrapping and unwrapping it). You don't necessarily want it somewhere 'warm' like making bread, just insulated well to go cold (to room temp) slowly. Wrapped in a towel in the back of the pantry or something like that. You can see how I did mine.
I think its yummier because you made it yourself. My Mum likes natural yoghurt, and she likes how the homemade one turns out.
And you're not being tight. You're being economical and thrifty.
No, not too early or late to do it now, and I don't mind q's. It will take about half hour or so for the milk to cool down to the required 43 degrees. I would still wrap the easiyo in a towel. Overnight, say if you left it for about ten to twelve hours. Then in the fridge tomorrow morning for about eight hours. It would be ready well and truly for you to enjoy with some tinned fruit for dessert tomorrow night!
