Method

1. Heat milk in the heatproof jug in the microwave till just short of boiling, we do about 6.5 minutes on high.
2. Allow milk to cool, then remove skin from the surface.
3. Place approximately 60g of the starter yoghurt (as fresh as possible) into the yogurt making container, then mix in about 1/4 of the milk to ensure the yoghurt and milk combine well. (alternatively if using a commercial yoghurt mix, just follow the packet instructions)
4. fill the container to the fill line shown on the side with the remaining milk, it won't be the entire 1 litre (very close though). Fit the lid to the container.
5. As per the instructions for the EasiYo, fill the fermenting unit with boiling water till the top of the red supporting piece.
6. Place yoghurt container into the unit & close the unit.
7. Leave the yoghurt on the bench or equivalent for 24 hours.  the ferment will be partially set after about 12-15 hours, however a complete result with a good level of lactic acid production takes about 24 hours.
8. Remove the yogurt tub from the unit and refrigerate till needed, you now have a 1 litre container of yoghurt which will be good for consumption for approximately 2 weeks.

Snack tip:

Place 2 tbsps of rolled oats, 1 tbsp of mixed seeds (such as Kapai Puku) into a small snack tub with 2-3 tbsps of your fresh yogurt, top with frozen berries & pop into your lunchbag for a perfect morning tea snack!  By morning tea time the oats and seeds will be chewy soft, the whole thing will be sweetened by the berries and you will have a snack that's full of pre- & probiotic goodness, protein to keep you full, healthy complex carbohydrates to fuel you till lunchtime, and beta glucans for gut and cardiovascular health - perfect!
