What yogurt maker do you recommend? There are so many type and brands i’m Not sure which one is the best for a 24 hour yogurt
Hi Kristie,
I have used 2 great yoghurt makers. When I first started making my yoghurt, I got my machine and culture from Green Living Australia. I now also use a yoghurt maker from Luvele as they have a glass container, which I love.
I hope that helps!
Rebecca
