Notes
- Ayran is not only a delicious and hydrating summer drink, it is also super easy to make with only 3 simple ingredients in just 5 minutes.
- Depending on the consistency you prefer you can adjust the amount of water you add to the yogurt.
- This ayran recipe makes 1 liter or 1 liquid quart (4 cups) of ayran which is roughly 4 servings (1 cup or 250 ml per serving).
- Refrigerate ayran in an airtight jar or bottle for up to 3 days.
- You don't have to use blender if you are making the basic recipe with no add-ons. Just mix yogurt, water and salt in a pitcher or in a large bowl using a whisk.
- Serve it with anything savory. Ayran is perfect for summer BBQ or dinner. My favorite ways to serve it is with Turkish flatbread, pita pockets with roasted veggies and hummus or borek with spinach and feta cheese.
- Make this recipe vegan by using plant-based yogurt (opt for almond or cashew yogurt for the best flavor).
- Experiment with different add-ons like cucumber, garlic, dill, peppermint, parsley, cilantro, thyme, black pepper, cumin, lime or lemon zest (not the juice), etc. The possibilities are endless!
