Homemade Yoghurt

This is my latest toy - a yoghurt maker I bought in the new year sales online from 3 suisses. This is the very first batch of yoghurt that should be ready about 7am tomorrow. It was pretty easy to make, so I'm just hoping that it turns out ok!The only slightly worrying thing is that brown on the top of the yoghurt. But don't worry, it's actually powdered vanilla bean...which I thought had been mixed in. Obviously not. I will have to try vanilla extract in the future, but the thought of vanilla bean yoghurt was just too tempting!! I have written down my recipe so that I can tweak it in the future as I know that plain natural yoghurt is definitely too boring for me!

My granny used to make yogurt with a flask which she put in the hot-press for a few days.

She never flavoured it until afterwards. So I'm saying maybe don't pu tthe vanilla in until the yogurting process is complete???

Possibly will try it like that next time. Though, I think it will be a while before I make vanilla yoghurt again - I just want to experiment with lots of other flavours for now!
