Homemade Yogurt Ayran
A savory drink that's pleasantly refreshing!
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
To make ayran, you'll need cold plain yogurt, cold mineral water, salt, and fresh herbs (I have only parsley, but you can also use dill, cilantro, or any other fresh herbs).
-
Step 2:
Chop the herbs any way you like (in a blender or finely by hand). The finer the herbs are chopped, the faster they release their aroma into the ayran.
-
Step 3:
Pour the yogurt into the blender bowl, add the water, and blend everything until smooth.
-
Step 4:
Next, add the chopped herbs and salt (adjust the amount of salt to taste).
-
Step 5:
Blend the mixture thoroughly. Taste it, and if something's missing (herbs, salt, water), add it and blend again.
-
Step 6:
The ayran is ready. It's best served cold. This drink is made right before it's drunk — if it sits for a long time, the water starts to separate out.
- All of Azerbaijani cuisine — nearly every dish — is rich in spices and herbs. And not just the food! In our family, everyone loves homemade ayran, a nourishing soft drink that's very popular far beyond the Caucasus. It's especially good on hot summer days. Ayran looks lovely in clear glasses on a tray scattered with crushed ice. Just remember that this drink should be consumed right after making it, since the water separates out quickly and it loses its flavor.
