Make your own organic yoghurt!

I've bought a yoghurt-maker!
My arguments for it were:
- I like natural yoghurt without sugar or fruit in it
- I eat it every day
- I bake with yoghurt
- I like low-fat yoghurts

I'm sure in many countries natural yoghurt is easy to find. But not in Russia. The variety is poor and yoghurts are usually with sugar and fruit syrop, with preservatives, gelatine, starch ets.

So, what are the results?
I like my new kitchen gadget! smile
It's really easy, I use just cold sterilised milk and natural yoghurt (activia danone) as a starter. Yoghurt is ready in 8 hours. With really nice, thick texture and true natural yoghurt taste. Later it's possible to use your own yoghurt as starter.

I know it's possible to make your own yoghurt without yoghurt-maker, but I wouldn't do it every day, for it's not that easy.

I think making your own yoghurt is much in Jamie's philosophy smile

Hi and thanks for the welcome.  I like your reasons for making own yoghurt and there is nothing at all wrong with using a "yoghurt maker".  Nice to know just what is going into the food you prepare.
