Flavoring homemade yogurt

vvvanessa added about 1 year ago

You can pretty much do any of the above. I have embellished yogurt with minced fruit, puréed fruit, and jam. A good alternative to honey is maple syrup or agave, but if you just sprinkle granulated sugar on it, it can sometimes lend a little crunchy texture to make it a little more interesting. If you have vanilla sugar, you can use that to add the vanilla flavoring, or you can add just a few drops at a time of vanilla extract until you get the flavor you are looking for. You could also use other extracts like lemon or almond, again very conservatively because they're so intense.

Are you asking about actually making the yogurt with the flavoring in it while it ferments? Or adding flavoring afterward?

Well, I had assumed it would be after the yogurt's made, but if it would be better to flavor it while I'm making it, that works too!

Jam works fine. In the summer you can use fresh fruit when it is not so expensive.
