Discover Ayran from Yayla

Origin and benefits of the yogurt drink

Ayran is a simple, delicious, and refreshing beverage with a long tradition in Turkish cuisine. It is made from yogurt, water, and salt, and is known worldwide as a Turkish national drink for its refreshing taste and health benefits.

Translated, "Ayran" means mixed water and can be quickly and easily made at home. In Turkish cuisine, Ayran is often served with spicy dishes and helps to complement the flavor of spices, creating a pleasant balance.

Our traditional drink is usually enjoyed as is, but it can also be customized with ingredients like mint, cucumber, or basil based on preferences.

Is it healthy to drink Ayran?

Ayran is not only refreshing in taste but also a healthy indulgence. The reason for this is: Ayran is rich in probiotics, the beneficial bacteria that are important for a healthy gut flora! These probiotics contribute to improving digestion, can aid in weight management, and strengthen the immune system. Furthermore, Ayran provides important nutrients such as calcium, protein, and vitamins.

Ingredients

500g	Yogurt (e.g. our cream yogurt with 10% fat)
500ml	cold water
1 TL	salt
1 TL	Optional: mint, cucumber, or basil

Preparation

Pour the yogurt into a bowl and add the cold water. Stir until a uniform consistency forms.

Next, add the salt and stir well again until the salt is completely dissolved. Traditional Ayran should be vigorously stirred until a thick layer of foam forms. Let it rest for a few minutes afterwards.

Pour the Ayran into glasses and serve it cold. Optionally, you can garnish the Ayran with fresh mint, cucumber, or basil. Prefer it more sour? Our Köy Ayran is made with sour cultured milk and is known for its sour taste. Tip: This Turkish yogurt drink pairs especially well with spicy oriental dishes and definitely tastes best when chilled! Enjoy it as a refreshing beverage or as a side with your meal.
