LABAN (YOGURT)

Steps:

• Heat milk on low heat until it almost comes to a boil (you don't want it to boil over or burn on the bottom of the pot).
• Immediately remove from heat and cool until lukewarm. Add 4 tbs of milk to the yogurt and stir until smooth.
• Stir the yogurt into the milk and pour milk into a plastic or glass container and wrap in a heavy blanket. Store in a warm place until it thickens (about 6 hours), then refrigerate.

VEGAN BROWN RICE PUDDING WITH ROSE & ALMOND (ROZ BEL LABAN)

Steps:

• Boil 2 cups of lightly salted water in a heavy-bottom saucepan, immerse the brown rice in it. Lower the heat, loosely cover the pot, and let simmer at medium-low heat for 40 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the water.
• Add all the other ingredients and mix well, and loosely cover. Let simmer on medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes or until the mixture has thickened and the rice is very tender.
• Pour into an airtight container and refridgerate for at least 2-3 hours before serving, or overnight. Makes a great breakfast too if made with amaranth or quinoa!
