yogurt
Simply placing as few as four live ants into a container of milk provides enough microbes, enzymes and acids to kickstart the fermentation process that creates yogurt.
Today, most yogurts are produced by fermenting milk using commercially made starters. However, the industrialisation of the process has meant that countless traditional fermentation practices from around the world are overlooked.

I assume it's either ant vomit, feces, or something that's fermented... Possibly all three.

Theía (Θεία) is “aunt”
