I tried once in the midst of Winter- fail! All I got was a saucepan of milk.
I tried again and though there was some thickening at the bottom of the tub it was mostly sloppy milk.
I decided after these two attempts that it was all about how well the mixture was kept warm but not too hot over the span of time it takes for the yogurt to be created.
Ticked off with failure I bought an Easiyo device - essentially a large thermos that is filled with hot water which a smaller flask containing the mixture is set in. The next morning showed me lovely, thick yogurt!
I now make yogurt once a week, or at least once a fortnight. My preference is for plain Greek style yogurt. I love the thickness, the texture and how easy it is to change the flavour by adding a spoonful of honey, jam, sauce or fruit.
One of these days I am going to have a go at making yogurt from scratch inside the Easiyo but for now I'm riding the happy high of perfect yogurt each time.
