Turkey’s Yoghurt drink

Ayran is one of the most beautiful accompanying drinks of Turkish foods. It is basically made from yoghurt, water and salt. Ayran is also very refreshing by itself, especially during the summer months. Have you tried it?

Turkey’s Traditional Drink

Ayran, which is known as Turkey’s favorite summer drink, is made by  diluting yoghurt with water and adding a touch of salt, producing the most amazing and refreshing flavor.

This Turkish drink serves as an ideal complement to grilled meat dishes. Ayran not only accompanies any meal but is drunk as a refreshing drink by itself, especially during summer months. It is one of the simplest and the healthiest of cold drinks.

History of Ayran

Ayran is one of the fundamental drinks of Turkish culture, dating back to Central Asia. The word comes from the Turkish word yoghurt, which itself derives from the verb yogurtmak, which means to blend, a reference to how yoghurt is made.

Yoghurt

Five thousand years ago, nature gathered all its beneficial nutrients into yoghurt as a gift to mankind. In the ensuing centuries, the Turks who lived in Central Asia, created milk and yoghurt with their own hands.

The famous Scythian epic called Kutadgu Bilik told the secret of yoghurt. The Ottoman Empire then created a unique flavour with ancestral heritage. Yoghurt became an indispensable part of the famous Ottoman Kitchen, and introduced to the Western World in the beginning of the 20th century. This is why the Turkish word “yoghurt” is used around the world.
