What is Ayran with thyme?
Ayran with thyme is a variation on ayran, the Turkish drink made by mixing yogurt with water and salt. Thyme, fresh or dried, gives the tangy yogurt base a fragrant, savoury edge; the exact flavour depends on how much herb is used.
Usually served chilled, it is refreshing alongside grilled meats, kebabs and other savoury meals, or enjoyed on its own in warm weather. In Turkey, ayran is a familiar table drink, and this herbed version offers a simple change from the plain kind. It provides some protein and fat from the yogurt while remaining a relatively light choice. For a milder, less salty glass, adjust the salt to taste and thin it with extra water.
