FAQs

1. Can I use different types of tea instead of green tea?

Yes! Experiment with other teas like chamomile or even black tea, but be mindful that the flavor will change. Green tea's subtle notes complement the strawberries best.

2. How long can I store the homemade yogurt?

Store your finished yogurt in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It's best enjoyed fresh, but will still be delicious within this timeframe.
