Ingredients

  • 1/2 gallon whole milk (can use lowfat or skim milk)
  • 1/2 cup mahdzoon or 1/2 cup yogurt starter (off the shelf of the supermarket plain yogurt will do as long as it contains "live cultures")

Method

  • Bring milk to just a boil and then set aside to cool.
  • Cool just enough not to bite the finger to touch, (about 120°F).
  • Pour warm milk in a glass or pyrex bowl and add the Mahdzoon starter (or store bought"live culture" plain yogurt).
  • Mix well by stirring the starter in, and cover.
  • Completely cover the bowl with towels top and bottom to maintain an even temperature.
  • Keep covered at room temperature until mahdzoon has set, about 3-4 hours.
  • Refrigerate for 8 hours before serving.
  • To store, keep in refrigerator.
  • If you like, you can add a spoonful or two of fruit preserves/jam and a bit of vanilla before serving.
