On: The Yoghurt Mafia

[jbc1]

I'm going to pick one of these up tomorrow and I'm trying to work out how your modification fits in with the instructions on their website:

- Mix EasiYo Yogurt Sachet with room temperature drinking water (15-20°C) in the EasiYo Jar

- Add boiling water to the Yogurt Maker and place jar inside. Leave to set for 8-12 hours

- Refrigerate Yogurt until chilled. Enjoy

Are you cutting the amount of yogurt mix you put in short and adding milk powder? mixing the milk powder with water to create milk and then adding yogurt mix with that?

When we first got it, I used one Easiyo sachet to make one container of yogurt. From then on, I've used 1 heaped tablespoon of the last batch of yogurt and then just milk powder.

My steps:

- Mix ~500ml tap water with 150g of milk powder (just put the lid on and shake vigorously, I always put the water in first as the mixing is much easier).

- Add 1 heaped tablespoon of existing yogurt (the previous batch, or I've used Chobani successfully (I've heard some commercial yogurts work and some don't)).

- Fill (leave 5mm gap at the top) the container with tap water.

- Shake again to mix (less vigorously).

- Add boiling water to maker.

- Put jar in.

- Generally I try to wait 12 hours, sometimes up to 18 when I'm not home.

- Refrigerate and enjoy :-)

I enjoy the yogurt straight, but I wouldn't expect everyone to (it may not be sweet enough) - my wife adds honey or jam and fruit when serving.

(I now actually freeze one tablespoon of yogurt as soon as a batch is done, and use it for the next batch after thawing in the fridge (overnight).)

I was wondering the same, and looked up "hack easiyo", lots of examples of people coming up with their own ways to use the system, without having to purchase the EasiYo printer ink, so to speak.
