Ayran

AYRAN

Ayran is a mixture of yoghurt, water and salt. The thickness may vary across Turkey with those down south preferring something a little firmer. Most commercial manufacturers add approximately 1 percent salt -- about 1 gram for every 100 milliliters of liquid. Unsalted versions are available and can be easily prepared at home. Ayran is the perfect accompaniment to kebabs, döner, lahmacun (very thin, flat-style pizza), gözleme (savory flat, phyllo-style pastry) and some pide (thicker-crust-style pizzas) and börek (savory pastry).

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup plain yogurt

1 1/2 cup cold water

1 tsp. salt ( optional)

Procedure:

In a blender..put all the ingredients and pulse for 1-2 mins...until frothy.  the best thing in an ayran is when there's these bubbles on top of our drink. Pour the mixture into serving glasses.. Serve!
