For the village in Iran, see Doogh, Iran.Doogh (Template:Lang-fa dūgh; Iraqi: Shinēna) is a yogurt-based beverage originally from Iran. Popular in Iran and Afghanistan, it can also be found in Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Pakistan as well as the Balkans, it is sometimes carbonated. Outside of Iran and Afghanistan it is known by different names.
History
Doogh has long been a popular drink and was consumed in ancient Persia (Iran and Western Afghanistan). Described by an 1886 source as a cold drink of curdled milk and water seasoned with mint, its name derives from the Persian word for milking, dooshidan. By 2009 it was being referred to as a "minted yogurt drink".
Variations
Salt (and sometimes pepper) is added, and commonly dried mint or pennyroyal is mixed in as well. One variation includes diced cucumbers to provide a crunchy texture to the beverage. Some varieties of doogh lack carbonation.
