Home made yogurt

I love yogurt and have never made it at home, although I have heard it's very easy. The wonderful Turkish women who teach the cooking classes shared their method & recipe w/ me. I'm making it right now - tomorrow morning will reveal whether or not it was a success. Here's the recipe I used. I'll post my thoughts & results later, maybe a picture too.

Plain Yoghurt

Boil 2 litres of milk (~ 8 C), leaving it warm after boiling.
In a separate bowl, mix 1-2 T plain yogurt (from starter or previous batch) w/ a small amount of the boiled milk.
Add the yogurt/milk mixture back in to the boiled milk.
Cover, wrap w/ blankets, leave over night (8-12 hours).
Refrigerate when complete.
