Instructions
- If the kourt is very dry, soak it for an hour in a little warm water to soften it, then drain it.
- Pour the ayran into a large jug and thin it with the cold water until you have a smooth, creamy drink.
- Season with the salt and taste, adding a little more salt if needed.
- Add the kourt pieces, stir gently and leave to rest for 10 minutes in the fridge.
- Serve well chilled in glasses, with a few mint leaves if you have some.
Variations and tips
Cow's milk version. If you don't have any ayran, mix 500 g of plain yogurt with 500 ml of water and a pinch of salt to get a similar drink.
