Directions: Use a commercial yogurt maker or the following oven method. You will need a thermometer, a 2-quart saucepan part of a double boiler and a 2-quart deep oven proof container with a lid to allow the yogurt to set. For best results, use organic 2% or whole cow's milk. Alternative milks, such as goat and soy, may require more total solids.
1. Pour two (2) quarts (or up to two liters) of your favorite milk into a large double boiler saucepan. Heat milk slowly over a low flame to at least 180ºF (82ºC) – DO NOT BOIL. Maintain this temperature for at least 5 minutes for better quality thick creamy yogurt keep the milk at 180ºF - 195ºF (82ºC - 91ºC) for 20 - 40 minutes
2. Allow milk to cool to 108ºF - 112ºF (42ºC - 44ºC).
3. Place 1-2 level teaspoons of Yogurt Starter in a clean cup. Add 2 tablespoons of the lukewarm milk and make a smooth paste. Continue to add milk in small increments, blending thoroughly after each addition until all milk from the full cup is poured into the container of the lukewarm milk. Eliminate lumps to allow for a smooth set. Caution: do this quickly, do not allow milk to cool any further.
4. Place the container with lid in the oven near the pilot light. If no pilot light, wrap the container in a thick towel and place in the oven. Let stand for about 4-8 hours at approx.108ºF - 112ºF (42ºC - 44ºC). The set yogurt should be a creamy custard-like consistency. Refrigerate and enjoy.
For best results use Yogurt Starter for each new batch. Do not freeze or expose to moisture, heat or direct sunlight. KEEP STARTER REFRIGERATED AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT ACCEPT IF SEAL IS BROKEN.

Q. What if I have a milk allergy?
A. If you have a true milk allergy to the milk protein (casein) then Healthy Tummy is not a probiotic product you should be taking.
Q. If I have a lactose intolerance?
A. A lactose intolerance can be handled by chewing one Healthy Tummy wafer a day to build up your lactose tolerance. Then you can start testing your tolerance to dairy by taking one tablespoon of ice cream or whole milk and build up your intake until you can ingest a normal portion.
