USING YOUR YOGURT MAkER

To Begin: 

Using boiled milk (This results in a firmer yogurt):
NOTE: This method is not suggested for Soy and Almond Milk.
1. Add milk to straight sided saucepan or microwave safe measuring cup.
2. Heat over medium high heat to boil or heat in microwave, whisking milk 

occasionally. Watch milk carefully. As milk begins to boil it will rise quickly up 

the sides of the pan or measuring cup. Remove immediately to avoid run over. 

NOTE: If using raw milk allow milk to boil several minutes, stirring constantly, to 

avoid run over.

3. Set milk aside and allow it to cool to 35°C - 43°C. If desired, place milk in bowl 

of cold water to quicken the process.

4. Using a whisk, gradually blend half of the cooled milk to the starter culture until 

smooth and well blended: 

NOTE: If using previously prepared yogurt from the yogurt maker, use within 3 

or 4 days.

5. Add to remaining milk and whisk until fully blended and no lumps remain.
6. Pour into clean jars up to just below the threads of the jar and/or into large 

container without the plastic mesh strainer.

To quicken the preparation time (This results in a softer yogurt):
NOTE: This method is suggested for Soy and Almond Milk.
1. Add desired milk to straight sided saucepan or microwave safe measuring cup.
2. Heat the milk to 35°C - 43°C. Watch milk carefully and use a thermometer to 

avoid overheating.

3. Follow steps 4 through 6 above.
Using the yogurt Maker:
1. Place the yogurt maker on a smooth level counter.
2. Remove all components from the base.
