"Qatiq" is favorite drink in Uzbekistan. It is useful, refreshing, helps to avoid intoxication, digestion problems, diarrhea and many other health problems. Especially it is important to drink it during summer season. Preparation is very simple, you just need a small quantity of natural yogurt or greek style yogurt and some time.
Ingredients:
1 liter of milk (full fat or low fat)
3 tbsp of plain natural yogurt
If you are using fresh farm milk, then boil it and let it simmer for 15 min. Cool down up to 50 degrees. If you are using pausterized milk, then just heat it up to 50 degrees. Check it with your finger, you must be able to hold your finger in a hot milk for 10 seconds. Now mix 3 tbsp of natural yogurt with milk. Pour in glass dishes and close tightly.
Wrap them with thick towel and again wrap in to another one. Repeat. You will use 3 thick towels. Using towels helps to keep the temperature. Put it in warm place for 8 hours. You can also use some thick bed covers to wrap it, just be sure to keep the temperature warm. After 8 hours your home made, natural yogurt is ready! Enjoy with anything you like.
Yoqimli ishtaha!!!
What do you call in Uzbek *strained yogurt* (that is, with the whey drained off)?
