What is Homemade full-fat ayran?
Homemade full-fat ayran is a traditional Turkish drink made by whisking full-fat yogurt with water and a little salt. It has a gently tart, savoury flavour and a creamy body; whisking it until frothy is a familiar way to serve it. The amount of water determines whether it is quite thick or easy to sip.
In Turkey, ayran is commonly served cold alongside kebabs, pide and everyday meals, and it is refreshing on its own in warm weather. Yogurt gives it some protein and makes it more filling than plain water. For a lighter drink, add more water and adjust the salt to taste.
