Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring all the dry seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture. You should start to smell the aromatic blend of herbs and spices.

Tips & Notes
- Full-fat yogurt produces a richer result; reduced-fat works fine in most recipes.
- Zest the lemon before juicing — it's nearly impossible to zest after the lemon is squeezed.
- Press or mince garlic rather than slicing for a more pungent flavor; slice for a milder taste.
