Ayran is a salty, cold and tangy yogurt-based refreshing and hydrating beverage. This drink is usually served cold as an accompaniment to any savory meal. It aids digestion and supports the immune system.

This extremely popular Turkish drink is incredibly easy to prepare at home with only three ingredients: Yoghurt, water and salt. Traditionally ayran is served in copper cups (maşrapa) which looks so royal.

Refrigerate it in an airtight jar or bottle for up to 3 days. Whisk it well right before serving, to ensure that it is frothy.

Recipe Notes and Tips:

  • Just add more water if you feel your drink is too thick.
  • For best results, I use a blender. This allows the ingredients to mix properly and create a nice foam on top. You can also use hand blender.
  • I recommend using thicker types of yogurt; such as Turkish yogurt or Greek yogurt. Homemade yogurt would work too.
  • Substitute the chilled water with sparkling water to have a bubbly and more fluffy drink.
  • If you don’t have a blender, put everything in a jar, close the lid, and shake it for few minutes until its well combined and fluffy.
  • You can also enhance the basic recipe with different flavors like cucumber, garlic, dill, mint, parsley, cilantro, black pepper, cumin.
