Making Lactose-Free Honey-Vanilla Yogurt
The 19-hour culture creates a lactose-free yogurt that is thick and creamy
but quite tart. To create a mild, lightly sweetened honey-vanilla yogurt,
rst stir in the baking soda and allow to sit for a few minutes while some
of the acid is neutralized. Then stir in the vanilla and honey (or sugar)
to taste. The yogurt will thin slightly after stirring. This is mild enough to
appeal to kids. You may strain the yogurt before sweetening.
Plain lactose-free yogurt 1 cup (8 oz/ 250 ml)
Baking soda 1/4 teaspoon
Vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon
Honey (or sugar) 2-3 teaspoons, or to taste
For a mild, naturally sweet yogurt without added sugar, another option is
to make our original custard-style yogurt recipe using lactose-free milk
and lactose-free, live culture yogurt to start the culture. That will create a
mild, naturally sweet yogurt with a subtle “cooked sugar” taste. The extra
sweetness comes from the lactose-free milk, in which lactase enzymes
break down lactose into other sugars (glucose and galactose), which
have a sweeter taste than lactose.
