Ingredients
- 500 ml cold water
- 500 g Greek yogurt or plain natural yogurt
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Place the yogurt in a large jug along with the salt and most of the cold water.
- Depending on the thickness of the yogurt, and also how thick you want your drink, you might need to adjust the amount of water stated in the recipe.
- Mix well until there are no lumps, and the salt is totally dissolved.
- Add some ice cubes if you want it extra cold and refreshing.
- Serve in a glass or a pitcher and garnish with fresh mint leaves for extra freshness.
- For extra foamy and creamy ayran, you can use a blender or a stick blender. All you need to do is to place water, yogurt, and salt in a blender and blend until smooth and frothy.

Notes
- Depending on the thickness of the yogurt, and also how thick you want your drink, you might need to adjust the amount of water stated in the recipe.
- You can use sparkling water for a different Ayran drinking experience!
- For an extra foamy and creamy Turkish Ayran drink, you can use a blender or a stick blender.
- If you have any leftover Ayran, place it in a jug, cover it, and keep it refrigerated for up to 3 days. When you want to drink it again, give it a good stir and serve it in a glass.
- If your ayran didn't turn up creamy, flavorsome, and thick, simply add more yogurt and mix until it dissolved. Have a taste and add more if needed. Also, add some more salt as it also affects the flavor.
