Yoghurt for babies is a great first food. The lactose gets broken down making the yoghurt gentle on baby tummies. Add some fruit puree and you have a tasty meal or baby dessert. This method uses an Easiyo yogurt maker and a little of one of the packet mixes making it a budget option.
Ingredients:
* 3 tbsp Easiyo natural yoghurt mix
* 1 1/2 cups powdered milk
* water
Method:
* In the Easiyo canister, add 3 tbsp of the yoghurt mix and the milk powder.
* Fill the canister half way to the top with cold water. Put the lid on and shake vigorously.
* Remove the lid and fill to the "line" with more cold water and shake vigorously again.
* Fill the Easiyo thermos to the required line with boiling water and place the canister inside for 12-* 18 hours.
* Remove and refrigerate until required.
Notes:
The directions on the Easiyo packet tell you to add the whole packet but I find a few tablespoons is enough. Store the remainder of the packet in an airtight container in the refrigerator until required.
This stops the active cultures from dying.
Making yoghurt this way is a great way to have yoghurt in your home at a budget price. You can add fruit purees or just serve with almonds and honey for breakfast.
