has generic name (help)</ref> In addition to Turkey, where it is considered a national drink, ayran can be found in other neighboring regions.
Its primary ingredients are water and yogurt, and ayran has been variously described as "diluted yogurt" and "a most refreshing drink made by mixing yogurt with iced water".
Ayran is served chilled and often as an accompaniment to grilled meat or rice especially during summer.
Similar beverages include the Iranian doogh, but yogurt drinks are popular beyond the Middle East region—ayran has been likened by some to the South Asian lassi.
History
Ayran is a traditional Turkish drink and was consumed by nomadic Turks prior to 1000 CE. Others think ayran was first developed thousands of years ago by the Göktürks, who would dilute bitter yogurt with water in an attempt to improve its flavor.
Contemporary ayran
Ayran is ubiquitous in Turkey and offered at almost all places that serve drinks, including fast-food restaurants, such as McDonald's and Burger King.
The town of Susurluk is well known in Turkey for its ayran, which characteristically has a foamy head and creamy taste.
- McDonald's ayran
Etymology
Some Turkish language dictionaries state the word ayran derives from Old Turkish for buttermilk.
