• Choosing the Milk: The following types of milk may be used:
  1. Pasteurized milk of any fat content (full, 2%, 1% or skim milk)
  2. Powdered milk
  3. Long-life UHT sterilized milk
  4. Soy Milk. Be sure to use UHT soy milk, which contains one of the following ingredients: fructose, honey or malt. These ingredients are necessary for fermentation and you will not succeed if none are available in the milk.
• Live Active Cultures-Unflavored Yogurt:
  1. All you need is a small amount of plain, unflavored yogurt with live active cultures, often called probiotics. The plain yogurt can either be purchased from a store or used from a previous batch of homemade yogurt. Homemade yogurt can only be used a maximum of 2 times as starter yogurt. If you use the store bought yogurt and prefer a particular brand, try using that one as a starter.
  2. The Live & Active Culture seal, from the National Yogurt Association (NYA), helps you recognize those products containing significant amounts of live and active cultures. The seal is a voluntary identification available to all manufacturers of yogurt whose products contain at least 100 million cultures per gram at the time of manufacture. Since the seal program is voluntary, some yogurt products may have some live cultures but not carry the seal.

• NOTE: For 5 cups of milk use ½ cup of plain yogurt or 1 packet starter culture. For 1 cup of milk use about one tablespoon of plain yogurt.
• NOTE: You can make yogurt either directly in the removable cooking pot or using glass jars in the removable cooking pot by placing them in the steamer.
