I did some "pearamintin last night. I've used Hood's Carb (now Calorie) Countdown milk to make yogurt for a long time (since it came out).

I'm now making my version of Carolyn's milk rather than buying the Hoods, which is expensive when you can find it. It's getting hard to find in many places.

So..... last night I made up a batch of the milk special for making into yogurt.
I used 1/2 cup instant milk pwd (GV) and 3/4 cup cream (also using my 5 Tbsp Calcium Casenate). The extra pwd milk did add a carb to the recipe per serving, but I have hopes of it being eaten up by the culture along with a few of the others.

Anyway, it made a nice thick creamy yogurt. I got around really late making it, so it cultured for a lot longer than I would have liked, and as such is tarter than I really like. But I think that was because of the time factor. I usually add some DaVincis syrup anyway, and usually some flax meal, so it is definitely edible. It isn't any tarter than the last batch I make from Hoods CC.

I'll be using this recipe for my yogurt now. Maybe more inst milk pwd when I think I can afford the carbs.

Oh, and tho I didn't use it this time, cause I need to use up the GV milk that I have, I will be using Provedent Pantry inst milk when this is used up. And I need about 1/2 as much of it per serving for some reason. It seems more concentrated. http://beprepared.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_FE%20M700_A_name_E_Instant+Fat+Free+Powdered+Milk if you are interested. I really like it's flavor better for the milk too. They now have a new fortified instant milk pwd which they didn't have when I ordered mine, so I haven't tried that one yet. http://beprepared.com/product.asp?pn=FE%20M750 (I just looked at it, and it takes a bit more pwd per serving than the original inst pwd milk.)
