Lassens Natural Foods & Vitamins

Digestive Health Benefits from Fermented Foods!
Did you know that yogurt has evolved into a snack that is as high in sugar content as some desserts? Or that the calcium content is lower in some yogurts than it was a few years ago? Many yogurts are also full of thickeners and stabilizers, so you aren't exactly getting a natural product.
But if you make your own, you can control everything about your yogurt. It isn't too complicated and it doesn't take too much time. Just remember that temperature is the key!
Makes 7 6-oz servings

Directions

Remove your plain yogurt from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature while you prepare the milk.
Bring the milk not quite to boiling (about 180 degrees, if you have a food thermometer).
Preheat the yogurt maker, and cool the milk to 110-115 degrees.
Mix in the plain yogurt, whisking to blend well.
Pour into a yogurt maker, and cover.
Let sit for 8-12 hours (higher fat content milk will take about 8 hours; skim milk will take about 12).
Check to see if the yogurt is your desired consistency. If it is, then stir the yogurt and top with the lids.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Stir in sweeteners and fruit right before serving.
