Ayran
Refreshing yogurt drink
Made out of yogurt and water, ayran is the simplest drink you can prepare yourself besides, well, pouring yourself a glass water. Put some salt in it and you have in your hand a combination of the best cure for a hangover, a hot summer weather relief drink, a thirst quencher, and a nutritious smoothie. You can't prepare it with regular yogurt though - you have to use genuine Bulgarian yogurt, otherwise you risk ruining you taste buds for the day. Drink it with a large piece of banitsa.
Ingredients
4 cups yoghurt
2 cups water
Pinch of salt
Preparation
Mix, cool, drink, ahhhhh - refreshing.
