BALKAN YOGHURT DRINK AYRAN
Ayran is a traditional and much-loved drink in the Balkans, commonly prepared with plain yoghurt, water and a pinch of salt. It has a fantastic silky texture and is hydrating, nourishing and full of probiotics.
Ingredients
- 200 ml plain yoghurt
- 80-100 ml water
- a pinch koshier salt
Instructions
- Place well-chilled yoghurt in a large bowl. Pour chilled water into the yoghurt and whisk them to a smooth consistency with a hand mixer or by hand.
- Traditionally, the drink is served with a pinch of salt. Other possible flavourings are honey, mint or fresh dill. Add the flavourings to the diluted yoghurt and stir well to integrate the flavour.
- Consume the drink straight after making it, or place it in the fridge to keep it chilled. Stir the yoghurt drink well before serving it. You can even add a couple of cubes of ice to your glass. Ayran tastes best when served cold.
