Non-dairy yogurt, 4th attempt

Yesterday I attempted my second batch of almond milk yogurt made from store bought almond milk.  I let it ferment for about 7 hours and had stirred it a couple times during the process because it was really separating.  After putting it in the fridge, I shook it a couple times before I went to bed.  This morning it was a consistency between yogurt and jello.  I didn't really like the flavor, so I think I will scratch that plan.

Also yesterday I made some homemade almond milk.  I soaked 1 cup of almond pieces in water covering the almonds for 8 hours, drained the water, added the water to the blender, and added 5 cups water to the blender.  I poured the mixture through a cloth to separate the almond pulp from the milk.  Not as creamy as store bought, but it probably wouldn't be.  I added a little vanilla and honey.  It tasted ok, but if I make it again I might add less water or more almonds so it doesn't seem as watery. 

Part of the reason I made the milk, was 1) to see how it tasted, but 2) to try the almond milk yogurt from fresh, homemade almond milk. 

This is my 4th attempt at yogurt.  If it turns out, the recipe I will post.  If it doesn't I plan to make another batch of the coconut milk yogurt.  I'm really hoping one of my recipes will turn out!  Here's hoping!
