| Homemade yogurt with honey. Delicious. |
Best. Project. Ever. I have always wanted to try making homemade yogurt. I am so delighted that it worked. I followed the instructions from this site exactly. At 6 am (yes, I am an early riser but not by choice!) I sidled down to the kitchen and carefully extracted my bowl from the oven. My fingers were crossed the whole way. And yes, success!
The only caveat was that this was not actually cheaper than store-bought yogurt. I know all the websites rave about how DIY yogurt saves $$$, but I paid $3.69 for a half-gallon of organic milk + $0.50 for a yogurt starter. This made about 3 cups of strained yogurt, not even as thick as Greek yogurt. At Trader Joe's here, I can buy 32 oz. or 4 cups of Greek yogurt for $4.99. I guess it'll be cheaper if I buy bulk quantities of milk? But you know what? This was worth the expense and time. I had so much fun and the yogurt was really delicious - smooth, mild, and creamy.
