Ayran is my go-to drink this summer. It goes so well with Mediterranean food, or you can try it with Mexican or anything that has a bit of a kick or bite to it. Ayran is easy to make too, just three ingredients:

yogurt
ice water
salt

I start out with a 1:1 ratio with the yogurt and ice water, run it in a blender, or whip quickly in a bowl with a whisk, and adjust accordingly to the thickness I like. I prefer it just a little thinner than a smoothie. Add salt to taste. The saltiness shouldn’t overpower at all, just add another dimension to the flavor. It’s *kinda* like a very mild, drinkable cheese. Really refreshing with samosas, or a gyro. Enjoy!
