Notes
Quick tips to make this even better:
- Use soda water instead of still water to help your ayran become nice and frothy after blending! This will also add a little tingle to each sip!
- Add some finely diced cucumber, mint or crushed thyme for extra flavour, similar to Iran's Doogh drink.
- Throw in some ice cubes before blending for an icy crunch.
- Or if you're feeling really adventurous, you could even add a sprinkling of cracked black pepper for a spicy hit
