A quick yogurt update....Drumroll please.............
batch 1 of yogurt is yogurty enough to pass, but more of the speed of drinkable yogurt. I stirred it up, gave it another tentative sniff, said a litte prayer and gave it a tiny taste. Then a tiny bit more. Hmmm....... well, it tastes like plain yogurt. I added a little local honey and some pure vanilla extract and then for the true test. Try it on the kids! Don't panic people, I did taste it and determined it safe, and my 4 year old and 2 year old are extremely picky eaters, so if it doesn't taste good, they won't touch it. They actually LOVED it, so I made them a fresh berry and organic yogurt smoothie. YUM!
I'm still not a big fan of the thinner yogurt texture myself, so I will be taking the Greek yogurt approach for the next batch, which begins the same but ends up drained and strained through cheesecloth. By removing most of the liquid, it *should* give me a much thicker and creamier result. If this works, this will give me a low fat, organic treat.
Nice goin' Tera!
