Ayran

Here is the quick information about Ayran:

We all love and drink Ayran in Turkey all most everyday!! It is healty and it taste just awesome!! Preferably, people drink Ayran with salty foods such as İskender, Kebap (Kebab as known), Lahmacun (They call it Turkish pizza) and others..

Ayran or dhalla is a yoghurt-based, salty drink popular in Albania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iranian Azerbaijan, Republic of Macedonia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. It is made by mixing yoghurt with water and (sometimes) adding salt. The same drink is known as "dough" in Iran; "tan" in Armenia; "laban ayran" in Syria and Lebanon; "shenina" in Iraq and Jordan; "laban arbil" in Iraq; "majjiga" (Telugu), "majjige" (Kannada), and "moru" (Tamil) in South India; "LASSI" in Punjab and the English name "buttermilk" all over India. A similar drink, doogh, is popular in the Middle East between Lebanon, Iran and Afghanistan; it differs from ayran by the addition of herbs, usually mint, and is carbonated, commonly with seltzer water.

In rural areas of Turkey, ayran is offered as a standard drink to welcome guests. Some forms of fresh ayran are foamy as seen above..

For making an Ayran, you basically mix yogurt with water and salt..You can serve it with ice cubes If you want a little bit colder one :)
