We make our own yoghurt at home using a yoghurt machine, in that way we can control the quality of the yoghurt (high quality milk, no additives whatsoever). A thermos flask can also be used to make your own yoghurt. In my opinion, homemade yoghurt tastes better than the commercial ones, and is more economical too.

I’ve made candied but not crystallized ginger. Yes, it has to be young so it’ll be less fibrous. I sliced them to desired thickness and boil initially in plain water. I throw it out to lessen the bite of the ginger then start anew with simple syrup (1:1 sugar and water) then simmer ginger slices to desired doneness. I store them in the refrigerator and use the syrup for tea and when I made tapioca (sago) it was great! I use my ginger mostly for gingersnaps because it really gives it that gingery flavor that ginger powder can’t. I chop it finely.
