AUTHENTIC HOMEMADE YOGURT
Yogurt is a staple in Armenian cuisine. This authentic recipe for homemade yogurt has been passed down in my husband's family for many generations. I've updated the measurements and temperatures to ensure a successful recipe every time. It's fast, easy and economical! I always try to keep some on hand, but this recipe is so versatile and delicious, it's sometimes hard to keep up with the demand!

Steps:
- On a work surface, lay four clean cotton towels in a cross pattern, each with one end overlapping a few inches in the center. Position a large baking dish or glass mixing bowl in the center of the towels.
- Set the plain yogurt on the counter to warm to room temperature while preparing milk mixture.
- Combine milk and half-and-half in a large, heavy, non-aluminum pot. Heat over low to moderate heat, stirring constantly, until mixture just comes to the boil. Immediately remove from heat and pour mixture into the waiting bowl. Add 1 pint whipping cream, if desired, for added richness.
- Allow mixture to cool to 112 degrees F (44 degrees C). Gradually pour 1 cup of the warm milk into the yogurt, whisking constantly. Return the yogurt-milk mixture to the bowl and stir well. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; wrap kitchen towels up and over bowl, covering completely. Let stand at room temperature until firmly set, 8 to 12 hours.
- Refrigerate yogurt several hours or overnight to chill completely.

DRAINED YOGURT
Yogurt can be drained of much of its water content, resulting in a thick, creamy product known in the Middle East as labna (or labne). Drained yogurt is like a moist, fresh, tangy cheese (and is sometimes referred to as yogurt cheese), and makes a great spread or dip. In Turkey and the Middle East there are a number of dips and salad dressings that begin with drained yogurt, to which pureed garlic and chopped fresh herbs are added. It's mixed with chopped cucumbers for salads (coming up in these recipes), even mixed with chopped dried apricots for a sweet and tangy dip.

Steps:
- Place yogurt in a fine-meshed strainer or colander lined with cheesecloth. Place strainer over a bowl and drain for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Reserve all liquid in bowl: this is whey. There should be about 2 cups firm drained yogurt. If necessary, return enough whey to yogurt to make 2 cups.
- In a medium saucepan, place sugar, salt and 1 cup whey. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently; adjust heat as needed so mixture does not boil over. Cook until liquid boils off and remaining syrup becomes deep brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons whey to pot and stir to blend well. If mixture is too thick to stir, add another tablespoon of whey. Allow caramel to cool slightly, stirring frequently to make sure it remains fluid. (If caramel stiffens too much to stir, place over a pot of hot water and stir until fluid again.) Add 1/4 cup yogurt to pot and stir vigorously to blend. Add remaining yogurt and stir to blend fully.
- Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes. If desired, serve garnished with a sprinkling of cardamom, cinnamon or grated lemon zest.

- Line a large colander with coffee filters (unfolding if needed) or paper towels, overlapping them so they cover sides, and set inside a large bowl. Place yogurt in colander and let drain in refrigerator at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours; discard drained liquid in bowl. Yogurt should be very thick—like an even creamier, richer Greek yogurt.
- Crush ¼ tsp. saffron threads to a powder with a mortar and pestle; transfer to a small bowl. Finely grind cardamom seeds.
- Transfer strained yogurt to a large bowl and mix in crushed saffron, cardamom, and sugar (yogurt should turn a pale yellow color). Top with remaining ¼ tsp. saffron threads (don’t mix, as you want that stained effect) and chill at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours before serving.
