Last night, I taught a yogurt making workshop in collaboration with Community Food Initiatives at AceNet as part of OU's Earth Month. The original posting for instructions on making yogurt at home can be found here.
A copy of the PDF handout from last nights workshop can be found here. It includes illustrated instructions on making yogurt, as well as a list of the health benefits, and some tips and recipes for making flavored yogurts, fruit-on-the-bottom yogurts and making Greek yogurt.
We had a great turnout for the workshop. Folks asked some great questions, and everyone was able to take home a cup of yogurt to start their own batch.
For those who asked about adding powdered milk to the recipe to thicken the yogurt, add 1/3 cup to your 1 qt. milk recipe.
A few members of the group asked about making non-dairy yogurts, such as soy and coconut milk yogurts. I have not had experience with this, but I promised to look into it. Below are a few links to some helpful tutorials. I have not tested these recipes, but they sound promising. I would love to hear from folks, if anyone tries these recipes out-- tell us about your experiences!
- Making Soy Yogurt
- Making Soy Yogurt in a slow cooker
- Making Coconut Milk Yogurt
- Coconut Milk Yogurt using plain yogurt as a starter (this recipe is not dairy-free)
