Ingredients

  • 500 grams strained natural yoghurt
  • 1 litre cold water
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add your strained (süzme) yoghurt.
  2. Add your water a little at a time, stirring as you go so that you keep a smooth consistency.
  3. Add more water if you want it thinner.
  4. Mix in your salt.
  5. Whisk with a hand blender for around 30 seconds until you get a foam on top.
  6. Refrigerate for roughly one hour and then carefully ladle into glasses, keeping the frothy texture.

Notes

  • As with all our recipes, calories are meant as a rough guide. The brand of yoghurt you use - and the amount you use - will cause differences.
  • You can choose how thick or how watery you want your ayran to be. These measurements are not fixed.
  • Serve your ayran with a sprig of fresh mint if you like.
  • Our recipe makes just under 1 litre of ayran. The consistency of yoghurt differs so you could get more than 1 litre.
  • If you can't find Turkish süzme yoghurt, Greek natural yoghurt is a similar consistency.
