Homemade
Flavored Yogurt
“You can
really taste the difference by making yogurt at home. It's also great to have a choice on the
flavor you want - and you'll save money.
It takes a little time but is worth it.” Numeals
Ingredients:
1 quart whole
milk (or 2%)
1 rounded
tablespoon plain yogurt or recommended quantity of powdered culture
¼ to ⅓ cup
sugar, honey, maple syrup, chocolate syrup, malt, molasses, or artificial
sweetener
⅓ cup instant
nonfat dry milk (Optional). It makes a thicker texture and increases the
protein
content by 2 grams.
Flavoring or
fruit
Directions:
Scald 1 quart
of milk and stir in ¼ to ⅓ cup sugar, honey, maple syrup, chocolate syrup,
malt,
molasses, or artificial sweetener.
If you want
to add another flavor, after dissolving the sugar or honey, stir in 1
tablespoon of
extract, like lemon, almond, vanilla or instant coffee.
Try adding 1
teaspoon of ground spices, like cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, or your own
combination.
Add the
instant nonfat dry milk.
Cool the
mixture to 110°F,
and stir in the culture.
Pour into
warm containers, cover, and incubate.
For jam,
preserve, and peanut butter flavors, put 1 tablespoon of the flavoring into the
bottom of
1-cup containers and pour the warm milk-yogurt mixture over.
Cover and
incubate as usual.
If you'd like
to try using fresh, canned, or dried fruit, it is best to make such additions
to the
yogurt after it has incubated.
The acid
content of some fruits can curdle the milk-yogurt mixture and prevent proper
fermentation.
Whenever you
are flavoring yogurt, always remember to leave 1 cup plain, so that you will
have
fresh starter for the next batch.
