What is Ayran made with sheep yogurt?
Ayran made with sheep yogurt is a savoury yogurt drink prepared by whisking sheep’s-milk yogurt with water and, commonly, a little salt. Ayran is closely associated with Turkish cuisine, where it is served at home and in restaurants; this version has the fuller character of sheep yogurt.
Its taste is gently tangy and salty, with a smooth, creamy texture. In Turkey it is often enjoyed chilled alongside kebabs, pide and everyday meals, and it also makes a refreshing drink on a warm day. Sheep yogurt contributes protein and calcium, while giving the drink a richer body than a thinner ayran. Add more water for a lighter consistency and adjust the salt to suit your meal.
