Using homemade yogurt can be a cost-effective way to start.

Add milk to a deep saucepan, using as much as needed for the desired amount of yogurt.

Set the heat to medium and let the milk boil, keeping an eye on it to prevent boiling over.

After boiling, let the milk cool down for 30 to 45 minutes until it is warm to the touch.

Skim off any fine layer of fat that forms on top if desired.

Test the temperature by putting some milk on your wrist; it should feel lukewarm.

Add 2 tablespoons of existing yogurt to a container of your choice.

Pour the warm milk into the container with the yogurt and mix gently.

Cover the container and place it in a warm area, like an oven (do not turn on the oven).

Let the yogurt sit for 6 hours, checking it after that time.

After 6 hours, open the oven to check if the yogurt has set; it should have a nice consistency.
