Equipment
- 1 Whisk
Ingredients
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold water
- ¼ teaspoon dried/ground mint leaves (or fresh mint)
Instructions

- Whisk in water, until completely blended. Stir in dried mint, if using.
- Pour yogurt drink over a tall glass full of ice cubes, and enjoy!
Notes
- When making this yogurt drink, the consistency matters. Getting the proper yogurt-to-water ratio is important. I prefer a creamier and thicker consistency so I mix one part of yogurt with two parts of water.
- If you find this ratio too thick, you can easily dilute it with more water.
- Aryan is one of those drinks that tastes better when heavily salted. However, if you are watching your salt, feel free to reduce the amount of salt suggested in the recipe.
- If your yogurt drink does separate, stir or whisk until blended again.
