The word is Turkish, and it was brought west to the shores of the Mediterranean by the early nomadic Turks. It is easy to make, and each new pot is a sort of miracle.

Ingredients

  • full cream milk pints
  • live Greek yoghurt 1 tbsp
  • runny honey

Method

  • Boil the milk for two minutes, stirring to prevent it rising out of the saucepan. Cool the pan in a bowl of cold water until you can comfortably dip a finger in the milk.
  • Beat in the yoghurt and honey with a pinch of salt.
  • Pour the milk into impeccably clean glass jars, or a bowl, and cover it: some people use a thermos flask. Keep the jars or bowl at room
