I just learned how to make my own yogurt about 6 months ago and just can eat any other kind. It is very creamy and clean tasting. I found my recipe here http://www.thefrugalgirl.com/2009/10/how-to-make-homemade-yogurt-2/. I add 2 cups of powdered milk to make it a nice thick and creamy yogurt more like a greek style yogurt and I add 2 tbsp of vanilla. The closest commerical brand of yogurt would be Stonyfield Yogurt from New Hampshire. The cost of this yogurt is 1 gallon of milk, I use 1% milk store brand, 2 cups of powdered milk, a starter yogurt for your 1st batch, 1 cup of sugar and 2 tbsp of vanilla, approx $4.50 or so for a gallon+ of yogurt. Sometimes you can't get a quart of good quality yogurt for that price. It will last for 1+ weeks once the jar is opened and when not opened it will make up to a month. Definately on my Top 10 greatest things I have learned to do.
I am currently looking for a local space in my community to teach a class on Homemade Yogurt. Give it a try and let me know how it went. For me the 2 cups of powdered milk is the greatest. I love the creaminess of it. It can be made with raw milk also. I sure that would be super yummy!
