Method

Whisk the ayran

In a large jug or bowl, whisk the Plain Full-Fat Yogurt, Water (cold), and Fine Sea Salt together for 1–2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and lightly frothy. Scrape down the sides once or twice so the salt is fully dissolved and no thick yogurt streaks remain.

Serve chilled

Pour the ayran into 4 glasses and serve immediately while it is cold and frothy. Give the jug a quick stir if the mixture has separated a little before you pour.
