After I ate all the skim milk yogurt, I decided to make goat milk yogurt next. The process is the same as making regular homemade yogurt.
It looks more like condensed milk. But still taste tangy, creamy and delicious.
Other people who have tried making goat milk yogurt suggest using raw goat milk for a superior quality yogurt. But that would be difficult to find as not everyone has a lactating goat at home. And the U.S. government (at least in California) prohibits goat owners from selling their raw milk.
But it would be nice to have a pet goat that would supply me with raw and fresh goat milk. As goat milk is expensive and a quart cost about $3.29 compare to a gallon of milk.
For those that never tried goat milk, it is really good and creamy milk. It’s also consider to be much healthier than cow milk. And for some people who cannot tolerate cow’s milk, they can still drink goat’s milk without any problems.
In 2007, Researchers at the University of Granada found that the properties of goats’ milk compared to those of cows’ milk could help prevent diseases such as anemia and bone demineralization. Goats’ milk was found to help with the digestive and metabolic utilization of minerals such as iron, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
Especially good when added to honeydew melon and cantaloupes. Also really good to drizzle the goat milk yogurt over vanilla ice cream and maybe top with some red beans too.
Next up will be homemade yogurt using organic whole milk. Commercial yogurt maker add pectin and some add dry milk powder to make it more thicker. I just like to keep it simple and natural as possible. Plus I think my yogurt taste way better!

Your bowl of fruit salad looks really good, healthy also. I guess there’s not as much demand for the goat milk for it to be so expensive and not to mention supply also. I like to try making it with soy milk this weekend, I’ll let you know how mine turns out.

I think most Americans don’t enjoy goat milk as much as the rest of the world. And most think it just doesn’t taste as good as cow milk. So yes there isn’t much demand for them.
Soy milk yogurt sounds neat, I’ve never tried it before. Looking forward to how your version turns out.
