This recipe is a game changer! The yogurt turned out so creamy and delicious. Will definitely make again!
Great recipe! I added honey and fruit after it was done and my family went nuts over it! 🍓🍯
Can u use almond milk instead of regular? Asking for a friend. Thx.
I was skeptical at first, but wow! It actually worked. I used whole milk and it came out great.👍
I don’t know why it took 6-8 hours. Mine was ready at 4! Still tasted good but not as thick as I hoped.
The directions are kinda confusing. U should say what type of pot! Needs more detail.
Never made yogurt before. Super easy instructions! My kids loved it!
This is basically just milk, right? Not sure why people pay for yogurt in the store anymore. LOL.
True, it’s just milk! But making it at home is so much cheaper and tastier. 😂
Yogurt making is a science. I think I put too much yogurt in. 😅
