  • During the step Add any flavor ingredients you like!, if you add liquids (such as milk), ensure you can still stir the mixture into a thick yogurt consistency. Add liquids in small amounts multiple times to prevent the final product from becoming too wet and dense.
  • Do not fill the container beyond 3/4!!
