Blend the yogurt, ice-cold water and salt for 30 seconds until frothy.
💡 The foam cap is the mark of good ayran — blend hard or shake in a jar.
Taste and adjust the salt; ayran should be savory, never sweet.
Pour into cold glasses, letting the foam crown the top.
Dust with dried mint if you like and drink immediately, ideally beside something grilled.
Ayran goes back to the Turkic herders of Central Asia, who found that salted, thinned yogurt kept better and revived tired riders. Today it is the default partner to kebabs and the summer answer to soda, poured foamy from copper cups across the whole country.
