Tips for making yoghurt

• Both the small and large containers can be used, but recipes will vary depending on
container size. Adjust quantities accordingly.

• If using unpasteurised milk, you must boil it first to eliminate harmful bacteria. Let it cool to
room temperature before use.

• UHT milk does not require boiling.

• For best results, ensure the milk is at room temperature before mixing.

• For thicker yoghurt: Add approximately two tablespoons of milk powder per one litre of milk.

• Soy based yoghurt: When making yoghurt from a natural soy drink, use a starter yoghurt
made from soy with live active cultures.

• Fat consistency matters: Ensure the milk and starter yoghurt have the same fat content, for
thicker results and reduced whey separation.

• Use inulin for creaminess: Add one to two tablespoons of inulin per one litre of milk. Inulin is a
tasteless fibre (often derived from chicory root) available online or in health food stores.

• Freshness is key: Use ingredients that are as fresh as possible with a long best before date.

• Prevent curdling: To minimise curdling, pour 200mL of water into the yoghurt maker base
before starting production.

• Allow to mature: Let the finished yoghurt mature in the refrigerator. Avoid shaking or stirring
during this stage.

• Using previous batches: You can use your homemade yoghurt as a starter for the next
batch. However, note that the yoghurt may take slightly longer (around 10 hours) to ferment.
Repeated reuse will gradually thin the yoghurt. If it becomes too thin, start again with a newly
purchased yoghurt.

• If you’re planning to add fruit, jam, nuts or any other add-ins to your yoghurt, make sure you
do this once the yoghurt has been made, not before.

• Suggested add-ins include cinnamon, vanilla sugar, vanilla essence, nuts, chocolate
sprinkles, nougat, coconut flakes, fruit or jam.
