Make your own yoghurt using a yoghurt maker

You don't have to go the extent of planting a vegie patch to save some money, you can do simple things like make your own yoghurt. It doesn't require electricity, much time or space. I have an Easy Yo Yoghurt Maker, so all I need is a packet of yoghurt mix and some water. The packets costs between $3 to $5 and make 1 litre of yoghurt. I like to use the Greek Yoghurt mix as it is nice and creamy and doesn't contain added sugar. You mix the yoghurt mix in with some water and place the container into the cannister containing boiling water. Then you leave it overnight on the kitchen bench, and in the morning you have fresh yoghurt. Great for making naan breads! The yoghurt lasts for about a week. You can also add your own flavouring to the plain yoghurt mixes. My mother-in-law once told me how I could make yoghurt using existing yoghurt instead of the powdered mix. I would like to have a go at that and will keep you posted, as that should work out even cheaper.
