Easing the tang of Greek yogurt...
I heard the other day that adding nonfat powdered milk to greek yogurt not only ups the protein, but eases the tang that so many complain of. Has anyone tried this? I was intrigued and excited at the prospect since I'd like if my kids would eat the Greek. Wait, I may have some nonfat powdered milk! Now if I can just find it in my pantry!
Thanks!

The tang you are experiencing varies a great deal, by brand.
If you purchase a yogurt maker, you can control the "sourness" of your yogurt simply by adjusting the time it ripens (and save a ton of money on your food budget -- Homemade Greek yogurt is 75 cents a quart, and store bought Greek yogurt is sometimes $6.00 to $7:00 a quart in our neighborhood.
(I just made a batch of Greek yogurt using some Fage 0%, and it was so mild that I almost thought something was wrong with it. Nothing was, I'm just saying -- you can make your own yogurt pretty mild.)
