Ermmmm confession time..................I brought 2 .  Well I bid on 2 as I didn't think I would win the 1 .

Not to worry there are 4 of us in our house and we have to have 3 types of milk!!!!!!!
Mary has Rice Milk  so she will have her own
I have soya .....  Roll Roll and Ali have sterralised.

Somewhere along the line we may all be able to have yogurt together

How is yours ....does the yogurt tast wonderful??

now that is serious yoghurt making, hope the work top is big enough

well having looked at the price of these kits on eb*y I have decided to have a go making my own yoghurt again in a flask. Did this before about 20+ years ago and I ended up with a smooth set yoghurt - before you could buy it in the shops - thought it had gone wrong and chucked it

I love looking at gadgets and reading what they will do and how they will make my life better. But then i think of the cleaning and storing of them so i never buy them.  Altho i did buy an ice cream maker a few years ago, not a real posh one, just the sort where you freeze the bowl and its in constant use. It makes wonderful ice cream and sorbet but i could just as easily do it by hand i suppose.  Thinking about it, no I dont think I could, the machines is much better than I ever made myself, so it was worth buying

Update on my 2 yog makers........Mary's milk won't turn to yogurt no matter how hard I try this is soooo anoying .  Nevermind. 
Ali doesn't like the taste he says it tastes gone off   8 yr olds like sweeter yogs .
 I'm not over keen to be honest,  I too have a sweet tooth.  Roll Roll loves them though
Hows yours going poolfield2???

It's going really well thanks, I used a Yeo valley organic as my starter and they are over £2 for 1 litre and I'm using Long Life Organic milk at 82p litre. So after the initial purchase of yoghurt maker I'm saving it's cost back quickly. I seem to remember that after using some of my own yoghurt as a starter several times it was best to buy a new starter.

Have you tried stirring a little icing sugar into a serving of yoghurt for children and then top with sweet fruit like banana, or mix mashed banana through it.

[matilda duck]

That's a good idea  the icing sugar and mashed banana!!!
  I put some strawb jam in one to see if that worked   It was nice at the bottom ?

I'll give that ago!!!  Thankyou!

Blackcurrant syrup goes well and will mix into the yoghurt as well.
