How Do You Make Yogurt With An Electric Yogurt Maker?
Yogurt is an excellent source of calcium and probiotics, but store-bought yogurt is sometimes loaded with sugar, stabilizers, artificial flavors or preservatives and other ingredients you might not want. By making your own yogurt at home you can control sugar content and other ingredients. You’ll also save a lot of money. Making your own yogurt is a snap with an electric yogurt maker.

Add 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt with live, active cultures or 1 packet of freeze-dried yogurt starter. Stir well. Pour the cultured milk
