I need to make some yogurt!

I haven't made any yogurt in a while because I've been too lazy to drive out to the farm and pick up some milk.  But I need to do so in the next day or two.

This morning I was sitting with my partner's father, because his mother had to run some errands and his dad is not well enough now to be home alone.  He wanted some yogurt, and had some peach Yoplait in the fridge.  He offered me some and I had forgotten to take a protein bar with me, so I ate some.  A six ounce container had 26 grams of sugar in it, so I did not eat the whole thing.  It wasn't even that good.  I make much better peach Greek yogurt!

So now I want to make my partner's dad some peach Greek yogurt.  He needs some good yogurt, and he does not need all that sugar since he's diabetic.

I always buy my yogurt. I've never made it myself. How does one make yogurt at home? Is it possible to make "greek" yogurt at home?

I make Greek yogurt at home all the time.  I haven't bought any yogurt in quite a while.

Here is a link to instructions on my blog: www.gastricbypasscoaching.com/making-my-own-yogurt/

 I am not a fan of any yogurt. I will eat certain flavors of Yoplait Light, like peach, apricot. Mango sounds yummy. The problem? I don't like that tarty twang of yogurt and Greek yogurt jst magnifies that taste. So my question is: if I made my own, is there a way to make it without that taste? Or at least reduce it??

Not really.  You can add splenda and whatever you like to flavor it but it still has a twang.

Homemade Greek yogurt sounds yummy. I have read how to make it, but never have. And I think it's awfully thoughtful of you to want to do that for your partner's father.

 I have been under the weather since Friday and I gave my DH (he's the chef) a printout of your homemade yogurt that you shared with me ...he made the regular and it was to die for ... I had him make a double batch as I know he would have some too ... but I was not counting on my DD  ... I just KNEW I had at least 3 containers left to finish out the week ... that is all I wanted to bring to lunch today because I have some sort of malaise that I can't even pinpoint .. well ... went to the fridge and the Kelly Yogurt as we named it is ALL GONE .. asked my DH did he eat it all he said no, he only had one container but my DD is the one who had been tearing it up LOL .. Okay, time to call home and ask the DH to make more ... I know he'll do it if he is in the mood and not discussing or watching Refs and games LOL.... it was just DELICIOUS... Thanks for sharing!!!!
