Ayran, a Turkish yogurt drink, is perfect for hot weather, thinks linguafood. "It's hugely popular in Berlin thanks to the large Turkish population, and ridiculously refreshing and satisfying," she says. Making it is as simple as whisking (or blending) together a pint of yogurt with a pint of water and salt to taste, plus chopped mint leaves. Serve chilled or over ice. "You can add finely chopped cucumber and this is really refreshing," says jazk42.
"Salted and or seasoned buttermilk or yoghurt drinks are imbibed throughout the Middle East, and West and South Asia," says luckyfatima. "In some places, people break their [Ramadan] fasts with the refreshing, probiotic drink. As I lived in the Middle East for many years, I have seen many versions of this type of beverage, including commercially marketed forms. I must say that homemade is the most delicious, hands down."
Ooooo I have the homemade yogurt, cukes and mint...Think I'll make some refreshing Ayran. Thanks for yet another way to put yogurt and its many health giving properties into my diet.
I was seriously addicted to ice cream and re-hab'd with my nightly yogurt ice cream: freeze sliced or cut-up fruit (never throw out another banana); I use a Magic Bullet, put one cup non-fat plain yogurt (I make my own with an easy slow cooker method) into container, a tbls stevia, frozen fruit and blend until soft-serve ice cream effect. Now my friends are hooked.
