5. Mix the thinned plain yogurt into the heated milk, until thoroughly mixed. NOTE: Depending upon the
recipe being used, flavoring may be added into the yogurt starter/warm milk mix. Refer to “To Add
Flavors” on page 6 for further instructions on adding flavors.
6. Fill each of the yogurt cups ¾ full with the yogurt/milk mixture. Leave each cup open, DO NOT place
