Trying to make vanilla yogurt homemade and I am not sure of the sugar and vanilla quanities. DD likes Stoneyfield Farms vanilla so I would like that to be my benchmark of "sweetness" and "vanilla-ness".

I am starting with 6 cups of milk.
Using some quick searches I have come up with 1-1 1/2 T of vanilla and 6-9 T of sugar.

Thanks

My kiddos only eat it sweet. I use 3/4 C sugar for 8 C milk. I know, it's a lot. I use a splash of vanilla - I don't measure it. The real stuff is $$, so I don't use much. I do use less sugar if I'm adding fruit, and I've considered substituting other sweeteners, but can't decide which... Splenda kinda scares me.

(3/4 C = 12 Tablespoons)

Honey is divine with a nice this yogurt - I make it plain, strain it, then serve it with a swirl of honey on top - YUM!

I have used 1/2 c. sugar to 8 cups milk and 2T vanilla with success for my kids. They tend to add toppings that have some sweetness as well.
