Add a small dollop of the store-bought yoghurt, close the flask and leave overnight. Repeat each day, using some of that day's yoghurt. The product may be a bit wishy washy initially, but as those yoghurt bacteria build up their muscles it will improve. Try varying things by experimenting with a bit of added cream, condensed milk etc.
Of course, after about a month of eating natural yoghurt each day, you could well be fed up to the back teeth with yoghurt.
NOTE 1 Unfortunately, if you add, say, strawberry yoghurt as a starter, you don't get a flask filled with strawberry yoghurt next day.
NOTE 2 This heating the milk to blood temperature. Obviously, if it's just the right temperature for the yoghurt bacteria to breed, then it may well be bacterial paradise on earth for less friendly bugs. Sterilise that flask before you start. All I can say is that I am still (allegedly) alive and kicking.
