You know what I love about yogurt? How versatile it is.
It’s the type of ingredient that can be in any cuisine.
- Overnight Oats
- Smoothie bowl
- Tandoori chicken
- Salad dressing
- Frozen yogurt
Smoothie bowls are my go-to breakfasts at the moment, and yogurt is the base ingredient.
The kids love when I make smoothies, and yep a tablespoon of the stuff gets added. So you can see how a 1kg tub gets polished off in a few days.
Which is why I have a yogurt maker.
I’ve had it for years (possibly 10, not sure, but I’ve had it a long time).
Having a yogurt maker makes it easy to make up yogurt.
Now with this recipe, it will be even easier to make plain natural or greek yogurt.
I don’t have a flavour recipe at this time. Once I perfect one I, of course, will share.
In the meantime, there are some ripper flavour sachets out there. We’re partial to the lemon raspberry, as it tastes exactly like sherbert.
You will need
- A yogurt kit
- Yogurt (Natural or Greek), for your starter
- 1L of drinking water
- 1L of boiling water
If you haven’t already got a starter kit, you can pick one up for around $20 at any major supermarket.
