Vegetarianism / making soy-yogurt

[Guest guest]

" Well alrighty then " (to quote crazy comedien Jim Carey), I made my

soy yogurt and " It ain't half Bad!!!! " Actually, I think that it's

very tasty. For all of you out there who like an extra tangy yogurt,

well, this may not be strong enough for you. This is exactly what I

did:

Heated up 1 litre of fat-free soy milk until it was warm...very

warm baby formula warm. If you want to do this part in the microwave,

it would be for about 4-5 minutes.

If you used the microwave, then you can use the covered casserole

that you " nuked " it in. Otherwise, pour warmed milk into a glass or

ceramic casserole dish with a lid.

Whisk in a small container of plain soy yogurt. I used the Olympic

brand. It uses non-GM soybeans, a little dextrose, tapioca starch, and

active cultures, and I think that it tastes pretty good.

Cover the casserole and wrap the whole thing in two or three bath

towels. Then, leave it in a warm oven all night.

I heated the oven up to about 175 F, put the yogurt-to-be in, and

then turned it off. With the towels wrapped around the casserole, I

have found that it maintains it's temperature all night. I tasted it

this morning with a little vanilla and stevia and it was very

palatable, IMHO. :0)

I have found though that when I make yogurt like this, it is a bit

runnier but I don't mind. Later, after it has completely cooled in the

fridge, I will transfer it into smaller, serving jars and keep it that

way in the fridge.

Anyone else wanna give it a try and let us know how it works for

you???

Wow, Stef, that's amazing -- and you didn't even use a yogurt

maker! Thanks for giving us the details of your experiment.

Wow indeed! I'm impressed. Now to try to find soy yogurt that isn't flavoured.

Now there's

a problem around here . . .
