Handy Hints
Do not add dissolved junket powder to overheated milk as this will destroy the active ingredient.
Stir gently a couple of times to left and right. Do not over stir.
Do not disturb the set of the junket, always pour the milk with junket into individual serving dishes immediately after stirring.
Skim milks, Long Life (UHT) milks, condensed milk and some powdered milks may not set.
Soy milk and lactose free milk will not set.
