In Greek: αριάνι, pronounced ah-ree-YAH-nee
It sounds too simple to be a “recipe,” and may sound too strange to be tasty, but once you get used to this yogurt drink, it’s a refreshing non-alcoholic cooler. Some say it’s a great cure for hangovers. This drink is originally from Turkey, and in areas of Greece with large populations of Greeks of Turkish descent, it has become widely known.
