Ayran (Turkish Yogurt Drink)

@arecipe.bsky.social

Ayran is a popular Turkish drink made of a yoghurt and water. The ayran made from sheep yoghurt has a quite thick taste, fatty but also delicious. It is very similar to the Iranian drink, doogh and Armenian drink, taan. Salt is usually added to ayran for flavour. It is served cool, and usually accompanies doner, kebab or pastry. Some forms of fresh ayran include some foam.
