  3. 3
    Be sure that the temperature is correct. Yogurt culture will only survive in a very narrow temperature. Use a thermometer.
  4. 4
    Add 4 tablespoons of the starter to the soy milk and mix well with a sterile spoon.
  5. 5
  6. 6
    Chill the yogurt when it thickens.
    • It will be a bit runnier than dairy yogurt.

    It lasts about 2 to 3 weeks. You need to check for funky or weird tastes. If it smells sour, then it probably expired. You also need to make sure that it stays refrigerated.

Warnings

  • The yogurt from cartons will last about a week unrefrigerated then will have a different smell as it starts to go funky. The long version batch is more sensitive. If mould forms, give it to the compost pile.
