  • Thermos® 1 Litre (or a smaller 530-650ML vacuum flask you may find at 8 hour+ heat retention rating)
  • 150g Full Cream milk powder 
  • 600ML water 
  • 2 tablespoons of existing commercial yoghurt as starter

  1. Pre warm the thermos with boiling water.
  2. Reconstitute the milk powder by mixing in 150g and 600ML water. 
  3. Heat either via stove or microwave ~ to bring temperature inbetween the critical range of 100-110 Degrees fahrenheit. 
  4. Once the temperature is reached –  mix in no more than two (2) tbsp of existing commercial yoghurt. Blend this further with a blender to ensure even blending. 
  5. Tip out the boiled water in the pre-warmed thermos, and pour in the mixture.
