My family drinks raw milk and I’ve read posts where making yogurt is more difficult with raw. I’ve never actually made yogurt due to this scare so what’s your opinion? Is it more difficult with raw milk?

Hi Noelle!

You can make it with other milks but I don’t have experience doing so . . . some people add a little bit of gelatin to help firm it up when they use nut milks. I’ve been thinking about making some with coconut milk myself – let me know what you discover! Thanks!

Best,
Sarah

Thank you for a SIMPLE, undaunting yogurt recipe! I’ve never been brave enough to try making it, but this is just my cup of tea! (I love my crockpot for chicken stocks, etc) Will be trying this soon!

Can you make yogurt out of almond milk or does it have to be cow’s milk?

Sarah, thanks for this recipe! I just tried it last night, and it worked beautifully! I used some whole milk that I had frozen when we hadn’t been able to drink it all one week, and Stonyfield Farms whole milk plain yogurt for the starter. I love the flavor–not nearly as sour as storebought plain yogurt. Then I put a little sugar, vanilla extract, fresh peaches, and granola in it and it was delish!

My question has to do with straining it through the cheesecloth. I lined a colander with the cheesecloth and let the yogurt drain until it was the thickness I wanted. But how do you get it out of the cheesecloth? I ended up scraping it off with my fingers, but I still felt like I rinsed a lot down the drain. Do you have any tricks for making that easier? Thanks!
