Testing Yeast

If the expiry date has already past, yeast may still be active, find out if yeast is still active by following the test below.

Add 1 tsp sugar into 1/2 cup of warm water (110 degrees or so), mix well. Add 2 tsp of yeast.
Leave mixture to stand for approximately 10 minutes. If mixture begins to foam and creates 3 equal parts, the yeast is still active.

Store in freezer for it to last longer.
