Ingredients

• 500 g full-fat plain yogurt
• 500 ml ice-cold water
• ½ tsp Salt
• ice cubes (optional)
• 1 sprig Mint (optional)

Method

1. Put the yogurt and salt in a jug or blender and whisk until smooth.
2. Pour in the cold water and whisk or blend hard for 30 seconds, until a thick layer of froth forms on top.
3. Taste for salt, pour into glasses over ice and add a mint leaf. Drink straight away while it is foamy.

Tips

• A stick blender gives the best froth, like the ayran from a kebab shop.
• Adjust the water to taste: less for a thick, drinkable yogurt, more for a lighter thirst-quencher.
