Here's a video on how I make my homemade yogurt. The first time you do it you can use a good quality plain non-sweetened yogurt. I used Dannon yogurt For my first batch. You don't need any special equipment you don't need to use a dehydrator. When you are done you can just wrap them up in towels or blankets and put them in the oven or someplace where they will stay warm for eight to 12 hours. Watch the video and see how easy it is.
