Ayran

A drink made from Bulgarian yoghurt. Bulgarians are very proud of their yoghurt as it’s the only one in the world that contains a particular type of bacteria (lactobacillus bulgarius). The nearest equivalent would be Greek yoghurt but that’s more liquidy and has a sourer taste. The first time you try ayran, you’ll think it needs some kind of fruit flavour but you lose this perspective quite quickly. It’s sold for about 1LV in any shop that has a fridge but is pretty easy to make at home: two thirds Bulgarian yoghurt, one third water and a dash of salt.
