From our kitchenAyran – refreshing yoghurt drink
Ayran is Turkey's national drink: yoghurt, cold water and a pinch of salt, whisked until frothy. Home-made tastes fresher than any bottle.

Method
Stir the yoghurt with the salt until smooth.
Gradually stir in the cold water until it has the consistency of thin buttermilk.
Whisk or blend vigorously for 30 seconds until frothy.
Pour into glasses with ice cubes, sprinkle with mint if you like and serve at once.
Tip from the storeFor creamy ayran use süzme yoghurt from our chiller – and grab a pack of fresh flatbread while you are at it.
