6 ingredients

5 steps

What you need

  • 500 g (2 cups) plain whole-milk yogurt

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Whisk the yogurt and salt in a large jug until completely smooth.

  2. 2

    Rub the dried mint between the palms of both hands over the jug to crush it into the yogurt.

  3. 3

    Whisk in the still water gradually until the drink is about as thin as milk. If using sparkling water, add it last and stir gently so it keeps its fizz.

  4. 4

    Taste and add a pinch more salt if needed. It should taste clearly salty and sour.

  5. 5

    Fill glasses with ice, pour in the doogh and add a mint sprig to each. Stir before drinking, since it separates as it stands.
