How (And Why) To Make Your Own Yogurt

by tristero

Here’s a really easy walk-through of how to make yogurt (and no, you don’t really need one of those yogurt makers):

There are more meticulous and complicated methods around but this one does the job. They use a handheld electric blender, which I for one don’t have, but gently stirring the yogurt starter into the lukewarm milk with a whisk or fork will do just fine.

Now, there are at least three damn good reasons to make your own yogurt:

1. It tastes oh so much better than, say, Dannon yogurt products from the store.
2. It’s a helluva lot cheaper.
3, Dannon still advertises on Glenn Beck, supporting a far-right demagogue who, among many other things, called the president of the United States a “racist.”

So…as the lifelong liberal and progressive Julia Child said, Afiyet olsun!
