I just wanted you to know that I use your video pretty much every week with my easiyo. Makes such great yoghurt. Just wanted to say thank you for teaching me how to do this so I don't have to buy the little sachets anymore.

[@thesunnysidehomestead6392]

Glad you like it! Enjoy!

[@donnabootes7272]

Yes thank you so much great video can you also use just ordinary milk 😊👍

[@sapanakatawal]

Bought easiyo on a special deal today after watching this video and almost immediately started yoghurt making as per the video. Can't wait how it turns out tomorrow :)

[@CoffeeCowsNCurls]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing

[@thesunnysidehomestead6392]

Thanks for watching. Just subbed your channel. Looks great.

[@aldocipollone1570]

Short and to the point many thanks!!!

[@Susanna79.]

THAT Is some awesome looking yogurt! am sitting here watching a few vids trying to decide if i should get the EasiYo (it's on special) and you my friend just helped me seal the deal thanks! i hope mine turns out as thick as yours its a pain having to strain it.

[@thesunnysidehomestead6392]

Definitely get one while it’s on special! It so easy to make once you get the hang of it!

[@u.s.a.198]

Ty

[@kimberlyallan1671]

Mine never turns out that thick 😩 I'll keep trying though.

[@markkilbylao8243]

Does the wide mouth quart mason jar fit the thermos?

[@thesunnysidehomestead6392]

I’m not sure sorry!

[@musicalHootenanny]

awesome I'll give it ago

[@thesunnysidehomestead6392]

Let me know how it turns out

[@thomaswitt589]

Great 👍🏻😋😋😋

[@carolinescott9553]

Hi there, does the yoghurt still contain all the macrobiotics doing it this way?

[@matteo_syd7271]

Good question but no answer 😕

[@amycoles]

Hey can I ask how much water you actually added all up? I don’t have the easiyo jar, but I have the packet mix and a glass jar and a thermos to keep it warm in

[@thesunnysidehomestead6392]

I added 1L of water but it would work with any amount just adjust the time to your preferred tangy flavour - minimum 12 hours though

[@fionapaterson-wiebe3108]

The easyo packet makes 1kg, so I’d add enough water to make up that weight. Filtered water, free from chlorine will help the probiotic flora flourish.

[@sherry7352]

Need (full cream milk?)or can just use milk powder??

[@thesunnysidehomestead6392]

I use full cream milk powder but if you’re going to use full cream milk you will need to heat it up to just before boiling before you use it

[@downinthemuff]

How would you go about adding flavour to the yogurt? Would you just blend some strawberries for example and add that?

[@alfiecat9288]

I’ve had an easily for 10+ years - you can add fruit via fresh, compote, jam even - you can sieve it and make labneh cheese and add chopped herbs, garlic etc. There’s a really good Lebanese woman who shows how to do labneh balls in oil that keeps for ages, she’s on here as well. I’m going to try this trick but dried milk has gone up through the roof and l wonder if the culture weakens over time though.

[@Mekdisha]

What kind of yogurt should I have to use with the milk powder?

[@thesunnysidehomestead6392]

I use anything pot set

[@elizabethhardwick2644]

I tried this and it only got partially clumpy. I followed your instructions, even have the same milk powder by happy coincidence. Do you think I need to reheat the water inside the yoghurt maker? Current indoor temp atm is like 18c which ain't that great lol

[@kiwi007]

I've had real issues since the temperatures have dropped. Yes, put a new batch of hot water.

[@janne2744]

I wrap my yoghurt maker in one of those dish drainer cloths from Aldi. Two in a pack. Secure with an elastic band or a peg. I'm in UK and we don't heat our small kitchen so wrapping the yoghurt maker helps.

[@1crusaider]

I wrap mine in a big towel in winter

[@tahmidhussain6035]

what if i mix milk powder in lukewarm water and add yoghurt starter and keep it aside for 10 to 12 hours

[@thesunnysidehomestead6392]

Lukewarm water will help the bacteria get started but make sure you have at least a tablespoon of old yoghurt in there with it.

[@nadiayoukhana5738]

Where can I buy easiyo

[@tahmidhussain6035]

is that okay if i dont use any thermos and keep it in my oven for 12 hours

[@thesunnysidehomestead6392]

The oven would work well in place of the thermos

[@Yuling10box]

what is the weight for 2 cups of milk powder？ thanks

[@littleblue1315]

Hello! Do you need to heat the milk first? Or just room temp? Ive ordered my easiyo already. Excited to use it!!

[@thesunnysidehomestead6392]

No need to heat the milk. If you’re using fresh milk you will need to heat it but powdered milk is fine to use without heating! Super easy! Enjoy making it!

[@littleblue1315]

@@thesunnysidehomestead6392 thanks for replying! What temperature shld i heat it to? And at what cooled down temp can I add the culture?

[@tahmidhussain6035]

i am from a region where average temperature is 88-92
degrees fehrenheit

[@thesunnysidehomestead6392]

You need at least 46c which is 110f

[@AmirulFazil]

How that boiling water didnt kill the bacteria culture..im so confuse

[@user-kr5jh2wl1p]

Same 😅 I thought we need to wait for 43 degrees celcious so it won't die
