Homemade Yogurt

I finally tried to make my own homemade yogurt. It was pretty easy! I used powdered milk from the LDS Cannery, water and a little bit of plain yogurt from the store. The instructions I found say that you can buy a large container of yogurt and put the yogurt in ice cube trays. Freeze the yogurt and use one ice cube per batch. Incubate in your oven or any warm place. Read all about it:

With powder milk $44.45 a 25 lb bag at the LDS Cannery, making yogurt yourself is very cheap and versatile. You can use yogurt anywhere you use sour cream. Sweeten your yogurt with a little honey or sugar. Add granola and some fruit and it makes a nice lowfat treat. Use cheese cloth and strain your yogurt to make cream cheese.
