Ayran

1. 1

   Whisk together the yogurt and salt or sugar with enough water (or sparkling water) to achieve a milky consistency.

2. 2

   (You can also use a blender if you prefer.)

3. 3

   Add the mint and serve over ice.

4. 4

   This is the Indian version: In step 1, honey is sometimes substituted, and a large pinch of saffron threads is added.

5. 5

   In step 2, eliminate the mint and add about 1/4 cup chopped unsalted pistachios.

6. 6

   Let sit for a little while before serving so the saffron colors the drink nicely.
