Instructions
Classic Ayran
Take yogurt and salt in a pitcher and blend using an immersion hand blender. The yogurt should turn very smooth and creamy.
Add sparkling water and blend again until foam builds up on top. A high speed blender such as a Vitamix, can also work well.
If you prefer, take some diluted mixture from above in a tall cup and run a milk frother to make more foam.
Serve chilled in tall glasses or copper mugs, topped with foam and with or without ice.
Mint Flavored
Stir in dried mint into Aryan.
If using fresh mint, then add leaves to the beverage and let it steep for an hour. Discard leaves before serving.
Notes
Add a dash of cream while blending to make it more creamy and for more foam.
Ayran can be refrigerated and used couple days.
Recommend sparkling mineral water bottled in glass.
