Homemade Yogurt - an Introduction
Homemade Yogurt (yoghurt) is a healthy source of protein, calcium, magnesium, and other essential vitamins, whose active bacterial cultures aid in digestion. You can make yogurt in your own home for a fraction of the cost of the typical store-bought type and it requires no special equipment (other than a thermometer). This tutorial will guide you through the steps of making your own homemade yogurt, using photographs and simple instructions.
The site also offers how-to videos, homemade yogurt FAQ, and a comment form to submit questions you may have about making yogurt at home, or to share your own yogurt making experience.
