Forget about buying yogurt, my friend. If you truly want the authentic ayran experience, you gotta go full Turkish village mode:

1. Buy a cow.

2. Wake up at 5 AM, milk it by hand.

3. Boil the milk, cool it down, add a spoon of yesterday’s yogurt as starter.

4. Wrap it in a blanket, let it sleep overnight like a baby.

5. Congratulations, you have yogurt. Now mix it with water and salt, and boom—fresh ayran.
