Notes
- It's best to use whole milk yogurt for this recipe. Homemade yogurt would work too.
- Use a blender to make ayran instead of a bowl and a whisk. Simply put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until fully combined.
- You can make this drink up to 4 hours in advance. Make sure to mix it well again before serving since it might separate.
