What determines the taste of yogurt?

[Guest guest]

Hi, all,

The SCD yogurt that I make has a somewhat pronounced tangy (sour) flavor. It

tastes great to me, but my 11 yo daughter does not appreciate it and eats it

only out of a sense of duty. She says honey only makes it worse.

I use 1/2 cup of Dannon plain yogurt as starter for 1/2 gallon whole organic

milk. I bring it to a boil before cooling and leave the Yogourmet plugged for

24 hours.

Does anyone know if there is any change I could make that would produce a

milder-tasting, but still legal yogurt (i.e. use 1% or 2% milk, use only 1/4 cup

yogurt to start, use a different starter, don't let it boil too long)? I have

tried Yogourmet starter, but that does not meet with her approval either.

Thank you, : )

, I presume you are using cow's milk. Yogurt is naturally tart and for

some it's an

acquired taste. I have combined my yogurt with peanut or almond butter or pureed

stewed

prunes. Perhaps saccharine will give it a better sweetness than honey. I have

also added

Frontier vanilla and cinnamon to yogurt.
