Eggs Don’t Cause Heart Attacks – Sugar Does

I'm always surprised how hard it is to get completely unsweetened yogurt (natural or artificial). The only brands I've seen locally are "organic" yogurts with a hefty price tag.

Making unsweetened yogurt (plain or greek style) is surprisingly easy. It takes about 1/2 hour and I leave it overnight (in a cooler) to 'develop'.

I would recommend more people try it. It's generally better than store bought plain style yogurt and super-cheap.

I can get a gallon of milk (on sale, non hormone BST stuff) for about $2 (in CO, US). That will yield the same in yogurt (4 quarts.. I use quart mason jars).

Any pointers to a good recipe?

IME most of the plain varieties lack added sugar. There's still plenty of sugar from the milk.

I've been eating whole fat greek style US yogurt lately. It tends to have less sugar than other plain yogurts and I am less inclined to add it.

I have no idea about the economics, but making your own yogurt is extremely easy. You get rather more control of the contents at that point.

Fresh yogurt is also naturally sweeter
