Ingredients:
1 2-ounce bottle Yakult
1 tablespoon inulin
1-quart half-and-half (room temperature works best)
Method:
Note: If using 1-quart glass containers, prepare each batch inside the glass container itself (up to 2 at a time).
Note: If using 6 oz yogurt jars, prepare up to 1.5 quarts in a large mixing bowl (or measuring cup with spout for easy pouring) using 1 capsule of probiotics, 1.5 tablespoons of inulin and 1.5 quarts of half-and-half.
In a medium to large bowl, combine the Yakult and inulin. Mix until well combined.
Add 1 quart of half-and-half and mix well.
Seal your containers or jars with lids and place them into your Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker.
Add water to the machine up to about 1 inch from the top to ensure even temperature distribution.
Set to 109°F for 24 hours and press Start.
Refrigerate when done.
Add any flavoring and eat within two weeks.
Note: For future batches, you can use 1 oz of yogurt or whey from a previous batch in place of a new capsule of probiotics.
