For the starter, you can use either store-bought yogurt, or freeze-dried starter culture (lactic acid bacteria in a packet from the supermarket or freeze-dried yogurt starter from a health food store), or yogurt from a previous batch (use it within 2-3 days of making it, otherwise the cultures may no longer be active and no more than 10 times in a row).
