Do you remember how your grandma used to make yogurt from the milk of her own favorite cow? That was delicious!  All make Yogurt in the same old-fashioned way. Of course time has changed; grandma is not old-fashioned any more. Modern life style has made every body man or woman busy most of the time. One has to study to keep up with technology, has to work to maintain improved life style, go to gymnasium to maintain health, and entertain oneself with TV, blue ray disc. Lot of grandmas don't make yogurt at home. Machine has taken over the work from human. Business has taken over the task of food making at home. There are thousands of recipes for making any kind of food. One can choose many varieties of Yogurt like Yoplait Key Lime, Yoplait Cherry, and Yoplait Strawberry from grocery store instead of old-fashioned grandma's homemade yogurt.

            Secret of Yogurt making is the help from bacteria to start fermentation. Bacteria eats the sugar present in the milk and makes it thicker; bacteria also makes lactic acid which prevents the milk to spoil and gives tart flavor to the yogurt. Because of that more the yogurt is kept outside at the optimum temperature the more thicker and tarter yogurt becomes. If kept in the refrigerator after about 7 hours of fermentation, activity of bacteria and the process of fermentation stop. The process of making plain yogurt is the same as grandma's recipes with improved equipment: The recipes are as follows:
