Notes

  • Requires a thermometer and 1/2 cup store bought vegan yoghurt or leftover yoghurt from the last batch. *1/2 tsp agar makes a very mild jelly texture, 1 tsp makes a firm pot set yoghurt.
  • Regular soy milk and unsweetened coconut milk work well.
  • Consider using half coconut milk, and half coconut cream for a thicker creamier yoghurt.
  • Yoghurt keeps for 2-3 weeks if sealed.
  • Recipe makes a plain plant based yoghurt, add sweeteners in the form of agave, honey or fruit if desired.
  • Coconut yoghurt and homemade granola make a very pleasant, and healthy warm weather breakfast.
