It had to be something to do......... in these strange times of being at home.
I used to make yogurt years ago, in a wide necked flask which is long gone and despite trying various additives I could never get good yogurt from goats milk. So it's donkeys years since I made any. This looked interesting and doesn't need milk.
I've mixed up the strawberry pack - simple to do and very nice it is too.

My daughter has one of those. They seem very popular, and as you say, they don't need milk. I'm still making my yogurt in the little electric gadget, using UHT milk. But always plain. Strawberry sounds delicious
ReplyDeleteThe strawberry is very tasty
DeleteI stopped purchasing yogurt years ago, because of the plastic pots, so please give a review of this as hubby does miss yogurt, and this just may be the solution.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy, delicious but expensive. Although it saves going shopping
DeleteThey work very well. There's nothing so nice as home made yogurt.

I like the strawberry mix
DeleteI've had one for years but don't use the packaged mix, I just make up plain mix with milk,powdered milk and 3 spoons of last batch.Works ok but not as smooth as shop bought.
ReplyDeleteI might give UHT and plain yogurt a go
Deletedoesn't need milk? Did I read that right?! I always thought you had to use milk, so I'm intrigued to see how yours turns out.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Monday. Rain is afoot!
Everything is in the pack - milk powder, culture,flavour
DeleteThr fruit trees and bushes will be glad of rain
OOO I promise - I wrote my yogurty post just now before even reading this! Not that Im making any!
ReplyDeleteI believe you!
DeleteWhat is it with the yogurt posts today?
DeleteYour turn John!
DeleteHi Sue, have been using these for years before they became popular. I like the powder sachets but often just use a litre of milk which has been scalded and allowed to cool and then just adding a tablespoon of live natural yogurt to the mix in the inner pot and then use the flask i.e. hot water in s per instructions on kit leave overnight and then put into fridge for use later in the day. If you have access to sterilised milk there is no need to scald the milk just pop into inner flask. When making natural yogurt make sure that you keep a tablespoon back to start off the next batch. There are aslo recipes for using other milks and also milk powder on the internet as well. Enjoy, we usually add some stewed fruit to make the plain yogurt a pudding. Take care and keep safe.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the information. I shall try other ways of using it
DeleteI'm going to try making some in a flask - have it all cleaned out ready. I even have the UHT milk as this morning, being Vulnerable (won't mention the OLD bit!) I opened the door this morning to a Food Box, courtesy of the Welsh Govt. Some stuff we will have to leave as a Food donation at Tesco, but fresh oranges and (tiny) apples v. welcome, and some tinned b/beans, tomatoes, pineapple, tuna all welcome. Other things in there too, of the useful and not so variety! There were two UHT milks so those I can use for yoghurt making as I have plain bio yog in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteHow handy to find a box of food on the doorstep - not so good is being vulnerable (and old!)
DeleteNo milk, that has me intrigued, is the sachet milk powder? Please do a step by step post with review. I'd would love to ditch the plastic yoghurt pots that can't be recycled.
ReplyDeleteThe pack has everything in - milk powder, flavour, culture. Mix with tepid water , shake, top up with cold water, shake. Fill up the outer flask with boiling water up to the right level. Pop in the inner and leave for 8 - 24 hours.
DeleteI had one of those from Lakeland years ago, they work really well. Every time I posted about it people would comment that the sachet packs can be extended to make much more than they state they will. I never tried it, but we always enjoyed making and eating the yogurts.
ReplyDeleteYou can get lots of mixed boxes of yogurt flavours from Lakeland too - https://www.lakeland.co.uk/in-the-kitchen/preserving-and-make-your-own/yoghurt-making/
I used the whole pack and left overnight and it's very thick so I reckon it would work with less of the packet to make a thinner yogurt
DeleteI always have some in the fridge but it is rather expensive. I go on a site that sells it close or just passed its sell by date .Its a lot cheaper and it never fails to set
ReplyDeleteIt is expensive but some ideas in comments could work
DeleteI have one and I love it! It's easy and the yogurt is delicious. Not the cheapest, but I think worth it, and by shopping around you can get it cheaper. In these precarious times it's worth having a few packs on hand too as the dates are good. I make yogurt cheese spread from it too.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was something to keep in the house to make that doesn't involve going out
DeleteThat's a wonderful birthday gift!
ReplyDeleteIt seemed like a good idea
ReplyDeleteOh interesting. Let us know how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteMe too Sharon , intrigued
ReplyDeleteI have one of these and they are great! I also have a recipe to make yoghurt with out the sachets. I got it from my Abundant Life. Angela, Australia
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your lovely present to yourself.
ReplyDeleteI started with something like that but then I read all the addatives, oh the sugar !
Now I use that method but make simple easy yoghurt from full cream milk and a little of last batch....delicious and not expensive and any added fruit is either fresh or frozen.
Enjoy !😁
Enjoy your adventure in making yogurt. What a wonderful present to give yourself.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
The gift that keeps giving .... you yoghurt!
