Ayran (Syrian Yogurt Drink)

Syrian Cuisine

Ayran is a refreshing salty 3 ingredient Syrian yogurt drink that takes only 2 minutes to make. It is served throughout the Middle East with different names and variations. Here I will show you 3 most popular ways to make and enjoy Ayran.

This drink will make you enjoy whole milk yogurt to the fullest. Perked up with some salt it goes pretty well with any meaty or spicy meal. It is especially delicious with kebabs and shawarma too.

Ayran reminds us a little bit of Indian lassi, just without the common additions of mango or strawberry flavour and sugar.
