I can hardly wait to try it with tamarind. I hope it adds a bit of sweetness.

1. Put a wooden stick in an ant hole for a day or two and then put it in the boiled milk. The acid from the ants helps make yogurt.

2. While lambs are still young and haven’t started eating grass yet, they have only milk in their stomachs and intestines. People used to kill young lambs for the meat and also use the milk from a special intestine to make yogurt.

And also, check out the Bulgarian Wikipedia page for “yogurt”. http://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%BE_%D0%BC%D0%BB%D1%8F%D0%BA%D0%BE (Google translate should work).
