Ayran (Turkish Yogurt Drink)

Ayran is a popular Turkish drink made of a yoghurt and water. The ayran made from sheep yoghurt has a quite thick taste, fatty but also delicious. It is very similar to the Iranian drink, doogh and Armenian drink, taan. Salt is usually added to ayran for flavour. It is served cool, and usually accompanies doner, kebab or pastry. Some forms of fresh ayran include some foam. In Turkey, McDonalds also includes ayran in their standard menu as a local menu addition. Ayran is also very popular elsewhere in the Middle East. In rural areas of Turkey, ayran is offered as a "standard" drink to guests. "
