I am submitting this as a recipe assuming you have made yogurt, have a yogurt maker or: there are several recipes here at 'Zaar describing how to make Yogurt. This makes a mild, smooth vanilla yogurt great plain, with fruit, cereals or grains. (time does not include chilling time)
Ingredients:
4 cups milk (your choice whole-skim)
1/2 cup powdered dry milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 -6 tablespoons sugar (splenda or honey)
1/2 cup yogurt starter (unflavored plain yogurt with active cultures)
Directions:
1. Set 1/2 yogurt starter out to warm to room temperature.
2. Heat the milk to almost a boil.(I like to microwave in a glass bowl for 5 minutes on high then 2 minutes on medium). Cool the milk (to a barely warm / babies bath temperature) (cool water bath works well). Add dry milk, vanilla and sweetener of your choice; stir well.
3. Stir in yogurt starter (do not whip but mix very well!).
4. Cook the yogurt using your preferred method and time (longer makes a firmer, more tart yogurt. I like to cook about 12 hours). Chill 4 hours before eating.
