A bowl of yogurt can be a healthy snack. Learn to make yogurt in your own kitchen in an Anchorage workshop.

Since ancient times, people have been using bacteria to ferment milk and create yogurt. Homemade yogurt is an easy and economical way to provide this healthy and delicious dairy option to your diet.

University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service agent Leif Albertson will explain the science behind making yogurt during an in-person workshop in Anchorage. Then participants will move into the kitchen for a hands-on yogurt-making session. 

Everything necessary for the class will be provided, and every student will receive their own jar of yogurt. Upon completion of this workshop, students will have the knowledge and experience to start making yogurt in their own kitchens.

The class will run from 6-9 p.m. on March 26 at Viking Hall, 8141 Briarwood St., Anchorage. The cost is $40. Registration closes on March 24.
