Optional variation: rose water or petals

Directions

strong>Mix yogurt and salt: In a pitcher or jar, combine 1 cup of plain yogurt with ½–1 teaspoon salt. Use a whisk or immersion blender. This is the base of your easy Doogh drink, creating a smooth, savory yogurt flavor. Stir until creamy.
Add mint and optional sweetener: Stir in 1–2 tablespoons chopped fresh or dried mint leaves. For a milder taste, add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup for subtle sweetness. This step upgrades the doogh recipe and enhances flavor taste.
strong>Pour in water: Gently add 2 cups of cold water—either still or sparkling (club soda)—to the yogurt mix. If you love fizz, choose sparkling flavored water. Stir slowly until well combined. Now you’ve got the signature Persian yogurt drink texture.
Adjust to taste: Taste your yogurt-based beverage. Add more salt, mint, or water to suit your preference. This helps achieve the perfect balance of tang, refreshing water sensation, and savory yogurt drink flavor.
Serve chilled: Pour over ice glasses, garnish with mint sprigs or cucumber slices. This results in a cool drink that's ideal for hot days and fits into a healthy diet or plant based diet meals lifestyle.
Try variations: For a twist, add ⅛ cucumber (sliced), rose petals, or a dash of black pepper. Want more probiotics? Substitute part of the yogurt with kefir. These are perfect meals for a plant based diet or meals for a healthy diet.
Store leftovers: Keep in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 2 days. If using fresh mint, remove within 12 hours. Store without ice and stir before serving to keep it bright and savory.

Doogh Recipe FAQ

Recipe Success Tips

Preparation Tips

Always start with plain yogurt at room temperature for easier blending and a smoother yogurt drink base.
Measure ingredients precisely—especially the salt—to ensure the perfect flavor taste without being too savory.
Use dried mint instead of fresh mint if you prefer a consistent mint flavor and fewer bitterness notes.

Mixing & Texture Tips

Use a whisk or immersion blender to combine yogurt and water until smooth for a light yogurt-based beverage consistency.
If using sparkling water, add it gently to the mixture to preserve fizz—this makes your easy Doogh drink a refreshing fizzy treat.
For a plant‑based twist, opt for non-dairy yogurt in your plant based diet meals, and blend thoroughly for even texture.

Serving & Taste Tips

Serve chilled over ice with cucumber slices or mint sprigs to highlight the refreshing water quality of the drink.
Let the mixture rest in the fridge for 30–60 minutes before serving so the flavors meld and the nutritious drink achieves best taste.

Adjust seasoning after chilling—salt, mint, or additional water—to fine-tune the flavor taste and avoid over-salting.

Modifications & Substitutes

Try variations like cucumber-mint, rose-mint, or adding kefir for extra probiotics—great for meals for a healthy diet.

Use sparkling water instead of still water for a fizzy cool drink twist; or flat for smoother, more familiar taste.

For a lighter version, choose low-fat or non-dairy yogurt—maintains essential nutrients while lowering calories.
