Easiyo yoghurt maker - bargain?

mrs_mug_2

I eat a lot of yoghurt. On average 3 muller lights a day. My children eat a yoghurt a day too (1 each, so thats another 2).

Would an easiyo yoghurt maker be a cheaper way of doing this?! Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy the equipment?

You could try here http://www.yoghurtdirect.co.uk/
Lakeland Plastics sell them by mail order or instore.
Ideal World used to sell it.
If you go onto Easiyos website you can find a list of suppliers.

You can work out the economics from the individual sachet prices.
I usually use the Bio Life variety,around £1.60 makes 1litre, the greek is nice too.

There are alternatives.....

Easiyo is expensive. You can try a good starter like Lidl Natural Live. (must be live!) a large thermos flask say 1 litre, filled with UHT full cream heated to 100c then allowed to Cool to 50c and then add 2 tablespoons of live yoghurt stir, and then put lid on thermos and wrap in towels and put somewhere nice and warm until next morning.

Hi Can you use UHT milk? I normally use fresh milk.

Yes I always use UHT but you still need to heat it up and allow it to cool back to 50c otherwise the bacteria aren't warm enough. UHT normally works better than fresh as it is sterile to start with.
