Re: Just made 1st bath of goat yogurt & need flavoring tips

The Meyenberg milk has an especially " goaty " smell and taste, in my opinion. You

might look for a different brand. I know Summerhill Farms, at Trader Joe's is

better. One thing you can do to make it taste less bitter is to drip it......

line a colander with a clean tea towell and set it over a larger bowl...... in

the fridge (at least that's how I do it), for about six hours. The bitter taste

is more in the liquid that drains off.

Just made 1st bath of goat yogurt & need flavoring tips

I just made my first batch of goat yogurt using Mayenburg's Ultra

Pasturized Goat's milk. I need to flavor it b/c it's very bitter.

Anyone have a good combination for flavoring it?

Thanks so much,

Any thoughts on how I can flavor it after I drip it for 6 hours? I am

thinking it is still going to be pretty bitter and stinky. Do you

know if Mayenburg has Nubian goats? I thought that was supposed to be

the best tasting. (nubian milk) I am thinking they probably are not

nubian b/c it is real bitter.

Thanks,

I bought the Meyenberg milk once. I thought it tasted terrible.

People have said that Trader Joe's carries goat's milk.

I like Caprine Estates, but our HFS doesn't have it now. I am

hoping that this is just temporary. Wild Oats in Indy had Caprine

Estates. Maybe other Wild Oats stores carry it too.

We do lots of strawberry " jam " - I think I got the recipe off of the

Pecanbread website. Just boil the strawberries down until they're

really thick, the consistency of jam. Sometimes I'll add a bit of

honey if needed. We also do cherries (the favorite, but a bit more

expensive around here). We get both in frozen pkgs from HFS when we

can, but from Safeway works well too. We've also done peaches when

they were in season, and I canned some of them that we occasionally

break out for special occasions. For some reason we didn't have good

results with raspberries or blueberries, but you might be able to try

those as well.

My 10yo ds today created " banana pudding " - squished a couple of very

soft bananas then mixed it with his yogurt. I think it was probably

as much bananas as it was yogurt, but he was pretty excited about it.

It took a while to acquire the taste for the goat yogurt, but if you

hang in there, they'll eventually get it.

Our fave ways of flavoring yogurt are..... vanilla & honey.... mashed banana &

honey..... or peanut butter and honey.

A friend of mine (who owns goats) told me that Meyenberg blends the milk of all

kinds of different breeds of goats.... so you don't know what you're getting.

Yes, Nubians give great tasting milk..... when I was growing up, we kept

several Nubians... so that's what I was raised on and it is really superior, in

my opinion.
