Answers:

It looks like you need a little bit of yogart to make yogart at home, as well as honey and whole or skim milk. Check the link below. It looks like it is a bit of a process, but can be done at home within about 12 hours.

Raw milk enthusiasts who would rather not pasteurize their milk often prefer raw milk yogurt. Raw milk yogurt is made much in the same way as traditional yogurt. However, the raw milk is not heated to as high a temperature to make raw milk yogurt. Raw milk yogurt is a nutritious meal or snack and simple to make. Here's a basic raw milk recipe.


Instructions.

1
Obtain some raw milk, produced in a clean, healthy environment by healthy cows or goats. Ideally, the raw milk for raw milk yogurt should be as fresh as possible.

2
Heat one quart of raw milk to 110 degrees F as the first step to making raw milk yogurt. Remove from heat source after reaching 100 degrees.

3
Add 2 tbsp. of live culture organic yogurt for your starter. Stonyfield yogurt is a very good choice as a culture to make organic raw milk yogurt. Use a whisk to incorporate the yogurt into the heated milk.

4
Pour milk into a quart-size mason jar or other glass container. Cover the raw milk yogurt with lid.

5
Leave the raw milk yogurt in a warm (110 degrees F) place such as an oven or wrapped in heating pads in a cooler for eight hours.

6
Place raw milk yogurt in refrigerator to cool.

7
Enjoy your raw milk yogurt. Add chopped fruit, homemade fruit preserves or vanilla extract and maple syrup to the raw milk yogurt if desired.

Well, you can go the natural way and just let it sit out, uncovered, for a few days. Random bacteria from the air will settle on it and cause it to ferment and gel.
That may not taste very good though since you're not controlling which bacteria are able to ferment the milk...for that you'll need a powdered yogurt "starter" or you'll need a half cup or so of (real) yogurt that has plenty of "live cultures" in it. And you may not have either of those already.

Check out my answer in this previous question for info on how I make my own yogurt though, and other info about making yogurt, starters to use, etc:

You might also be intersted in this one:



you have to get a ferment or you will not get yogurt

but you could make paneer by warming the milk and then you add a lemon juice you turn gently the milk and drain it



you store it in a cold place for some days and add salt and pepper so it won't lose taste
