What do you need to freeze dry yogurt?

How to Freeze Dry Yogurt
Place yogurt into a piping bag and cut off a small opening at the bottom. Pipe 1/2" to 1" dots of yogurt right onto the Harvest Right Tray.
Place remaining yogurt onto the tray and spread it around evenly.
Add trays to the freeze dryer. Close the door and start the process.
When the freeze drying process ends, remove the trays from the freeze dryer. Make sure all the yogurt is puffy and their are no cold or wet spots.
Place yogurt bites into mason jars and add an oxygen absorber.
OR place chunks of yogurt into Mylar bags with an oxygen absorber and heat seal. Store for up to 25 years.
How to Reconstitute Yogurt
Reconstituting yogurt is really simple. Take about a cup of freeze dried yogurt and add a 1/2" cup of water. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Stir water and yogurt and decide if you need more water. You can make your yogurt thick like Greek yogurt or thin it down for like a syrup on pancakes or waffles.
You don't have to reconstitute yogurt to eat it. You can just break off a piece and enjoy its fluffy goodness.
