Why Home-Fermented Yoghurt

Making your own yoghurt puts you in control of what goes into it — no added sugar, no gums, no fillers, just milk and live cultures. Combined with the Reuter-i Pro Yoghurt Maker's consistent, adjustable temperature control, Probiotic Max is built for anyone who wants a reliable, repeatable batch of home-set probiotic yoghurt.

How to Use with the Reuter-i Pro Yoghurt Maker

1. Pour 2L of UHT Milk into glass yoghurt making jar
2. Sprinkle the Probiotic Max sachet and 4 teaspoons Chicory Root Fibre (optional Prebiotic) evenly over the milk and whisk to combine. A milk frother works well.
   
3. Set the Reuter-i Pro to the yoghurt preset by pressing the function button once and operation will start.
4. Once the fermentation cycle is complete, refrigerate for at least 4 hours before enjoying.
