Had our Easiyo for a year now and wouldn't be without it. OH likes his without sugar and I like mine semi-sweetened and we buy ours in bulk from www.yogurtdirect.co.uk where you can get hold of the whole range of flavours.

I used to buy sachets from Julian Graves, but got fed up with only being able to buy four or five flavours when there are so many available.

I finally found an easiyo maker (with tub inside) in my local charity shop for wait for it........ 10p. I couldn't believe it they obviously had no idea what it was!!!

my second batch didn't really work, i think i rushed making it and didn't put enough starter in will try again overnight tonight, as the first one was fine i can't see i'll have any problems!

as an aside, where would i buy muslin if i did want to strain it to make it greek-style?

just had a look on https://www.yoghurtdirect.co.uk as mentioned above, and they have a few special offers on multipacks. the dates are too short for me i think, but others may find them ok if there are more of you in the family!

I had one that didn't set properly shortly after I'd bought my Easiyo yogurt maker and couldn't work it out until I realised that I'd used a yogurt DRINK rather than actual yogurt! Be warned ... this is easy to do when first starting out as the packets look very similar :rolleyes:

maybe i should've just drunk it!!

i think i'd just not left it in long enough! last nights batch was fine

I had some blackberries left in the freezer so i've made a very runny jam (just like a blackberry syrup really) and i've mixed it in with the yoghurt to make a gorgeous Muller type fruit corner. Cant wait for summer to come so I can do the same with fresh strawberries!
