Doogh (Persian: دوغ‎‎, Azerbaijani: doogh, Armenian: Թան tan, Iraqi: شنينة shinēna) is a savory yogurt-based beverage popular in Iran, Azerbaijan,[1] Afghanistan, Armenia, Iraq, and Syria. It is sometimes carbonated and seasoned with mint.[2] Outside Iran and Azerbaijan, it is known by different names.

Doogh is described as being either the same as or very similar to the Turkish beverage ayran.[3][4]

History

Doogh has long been a popular drink and was consumed in ancient Persia (modern-day Iran).[5] Described by an 1886 source as a cold drink of curdled milk and water seasoned with mint,[6] its name derives from the Persian word for milking, dooshidan.[2] By 2009 it was being referred to as a "minted yogurt drink".[7]

Variations

Salt (and sometimes pepper) is added, and commonly dried mint or pennyroyal is mixed in as well. One variation includes diced cucumbers to provide a crunchy texture to the beverage. Some varieties of doogh lack carbonation.
