Notes
Ensure that the soy yogurt you use contains live active cultures for successful fermentation.
The length of fermentation can be adjusted based on your preference for tartness; longer times will result in tangier yogurt.
Homemade soy yogurt can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
