Vegan Yogurt

[spitphyre]

I did a little reading and while someone somewhere said it could be done my cursory search only turned up people asking this question and those saying "yes!" So... is this really possible? Does it come with all the probiotics and live cultures of dairy yogurt? How would I make it? I'm presuming with rice or soy milk or something similar but those

You could make your own soy milk (my mom used to do that--I forget how, exactly, but it involved a lot of soybeans and a lot of water and stank the house up to high heaven, though the last is probably because I never did like the smell of any kind of milk), but when you say "too processed" keep in mind that the factories that make soy milk are basically doing the same thing, except on a bigger and more efficient scale.

Soy yogurt is basically made the same way as regular yogurt, though the temperatures are probably different: heat the milk to almost-boiling, cool to just-hot-enough-to-touch, add your starter culture (typically a bit of premade soy yogurt), and let it incubate for a few hours in a warm spot. Soya dot com has a complete guide from making your own milk to making the yogurt (not linked because then this might get marked as spam).

I've had a cultured almond milk product that was delicious, but don't know how it was made.
