There are several options for flavoring homemade yogurt without processed sugar:

• The best tasting sweetener for homemade yogurt is raw honey. Raw honey adds not only a pure sweetness to the yogurt but also has a number of health benefits.
  
• If you prefer a fruity flavor try sugar-free jam.  Sugar-free jam comes in a number of varieties and is readily available.  Just stir a little jam into your finished homemade yogurt.
• Flavored liquid stevia drops also can be used to add fruity, chocolate or other flavors. Stevia drops are often available at health food stores.
• Flavor extracts such as vanilla extract can also be used.  We recommend using pure flavor extracts versus artificial extracts.

Be sure to wait until the homemade yogurt making process is completed before adding sweetener or flavorings. This ensures that the bacteria necessary to culture the yogurt is not disturbed.

For easy homemade yogurt, we offer five varieties of yogurt starter available. Four of our yogurt starters (Viili, Matsoni, Fil Mjolk aka Filmjolk and Piima) culture at room temperature (i.e. counter-top yogurt starter). No need to heat milk or use a yogurt maker, crock pot, etc. Our Greek yogurt starter requires heat for 4 ½ hours to culture properly.
