Whisk plain yogurt with cold water until smooth, then stir in finely chopped fresh mint or dried mint. Add salt if you want a savory drink, chill it, and whisk or shake again before serving if it has separated.
Mint yogurt drink is usually an ayran-style drink: yogurt is thinned with water, then flavored with mint. Ayran is commonly served plain or salted, while mint gives this version a distinct herbal flavor.
Mint yogurt drink is usually savory, often with a little salt, rather than sweet. Some homemade versions may be adjusted to taste, but adding sugar changes the traditional ayran-like flavor.
Yes, dried mint works well in mint yogurt drink and gives it a concentrated aroma. Fresh mint tastes greener and brighter. Let the drink rest briefly after adding dried mint so its flavor can spread through the yogurt.
Mint yogurt drink pairs well with grilled meats, rice dishes, spicy foods, and other savory meals. Its cool, tangy taste complements rich or strongly seasoned dishes, and it is often served chilled alongside the meal.
Keep homemade mint yogurt drink covered in the refrigerator and drink it while it is fresh. It may separate as it sits, so shake or whisk it before serving, and do not leave it at room temperature for an extended time.
It may contain live cultures if it is made with yogurt that still has them and the drink is not heat-treated. Mint and dilution do not add probiotics, and a homemade or packaged drink is not guaranteed to contain live cultures.
Some people with lactose intolerance tolerate yogurt better than milk, but mint yogurt drink still contains dairy and may cause symptoms. Lactose-free yogurt can be used to make a similar drink; tolerance varies from person to person.
Yes, mint yogurt drink contributes fluid and can feel refreshing when served cold. A salty version also contains sodium, so it should not replace water as your main drink throughout the day.
You can freeze mint yogurt drink, but thawing often separates the yogurt and water and leaves a grainier texture. Whisking it after thawing may help, though making a fresh batch usually gives a smoother result.

Mint yogurt drink is made by thinning yogurt with cold water and stirring in mint, often with a little salt. In Turkey it is a minty take on ayran, the familiar yogurt drink; similar refreshing combinations are also enjoyed across parts of the Middle East. It is served chilled, either alongside a meal or as a cooling drink on a warm day.
Its tangy yogurt flavour is balanced by fresh, herbal notes, and the texture is usually smoother and fuller than water but lighter than plain yogurt. It offers some protein while remaining relatively light, at 37 calories per 100 g. Pair it with grilled or spicy food, or use less salt and fresh mint for a gentler, brighter version at home.
