Making Yogurt

salix · February 13, 2012

Used to make our own yogurt years ago in my 8 cup sized measuring cup. The very first time used a commercial (Yogurmate) product, but afterwards used the "chain" method as described by Robin. Worked well, just covered with plastic wrap, bundled it in a towel and kept it in the microwave oven overnight. Then dispensed into smaller containers for refrigeration.

Unfortunately, after I turned 50, developed several allergies - one being dairy, and not just lactose intolerance. It was easy to give up milk, but I really miss the yogurt and cheese. Mudman, you are the first person I have found that has experience with the water kefir. Would you mind if I PM'd you for more information?
