2% Fat Ayran is a savoury yogurt drink, traditionally made by whisking yogurt with water and often a little salt. It is closely associated with Turkey and is also enjoyed in neighbouring parts of the region. Its tangy, creamy taste and light, sometimes foamy texture make it especially refreshing served cold. In Turkey, it commonly accompanies kebabs, pide and home-cooked meals; elsewhere, it works well alongside grilled food or as a cooling drink with lunch. It provides protein and calcium, with 2.2 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter, less creamy sip, stir in a little water just before serving.
