I'm curious, I tried this before and I didn't like the taste :S, I don't actually like "real" yogurt, it's too thick for me, and I don't like the lack of flavor...
But i've been thinking, just haven't tried it yet so I thought I'd ask since I saw this thread. Has anyone made yogurt with milk other than plain milk? I mean like strawberry milk or chocolate milk? Do you end up with strawberry flavored yogurt/chocolate? I'm sure I could just add some strawberry/chocolate syrup to yogurt later. But I just wasn't sure :D
What I did to make it was boil milk, then let it cooldown a little (I used the baby milk test, if I could put a drop on my hand without being burnt) before adding the yogurt starter (or leftover yogurt from last batch) then putting a towel over the pot and letting it sit for about a day (no need to put it in oven to keep it warm). I learned how to do this from a Kurdish friend. And also how to make dugh from the yogurt as a drink, thought some of you may like to try it if you haven't, and have yogurt to spare.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dugh You basically take some yogurt and add it to ice cold water then blend it until it is all bubbly. Add some salt if you like is what I was told, I didn't like it with salt but then again I didn't like it much to begin with.
edit: I might try it with goat milk later, I like it more than cow milk to drink anyhow... never thought about a yogurt from it until just now
edit: Might as well mention why I don't like yogurt much, and see if any one has a solution. It's too sour for me, store bought greek yogurt taste like sour cream to me, so I use it as chip dip/sour cream, but I can't eat it by the spoonful. Same goes for homemade yogurt, it's just sour to me (yeah I know, it really is soured milk). Without adding a lot of sugar/flavoring to cover it up, how do you make it without a sour taste?
