Tips and tricks:

To make Greek style yogurt, strain the mixture through a cheesecloth for a few hours.
To make Cream cheese, strain it for 24 hours.
To make sour cream, add lemon juice when you've completed your mixture.

Once you've made your own yogurt, you can use this as the starter yogurt for 3 or 4 times. Afterwards, the culture will be unusable and you'll need to buy stored yogurt again.
