This is the best Afghan Yogurt Drink / Doh recipe on the web!!
AFGHANISTAN: Doh is the national drink of Afghanistan and one of a legion of sour, salted beverages popular throughout central and eastern Asia. I admit that the ingredient combination (yogurt whey, lemon juice, club soda, mint and salt) may sound strange to a North American, but I promise that you will quickly grow to love it. The salt serves as a valuable reydrating agent in warm climates.
To be strictly authentic, you'd need one special ingredient to prepare doh: yogurt whey, the clear sourish liquid left over from draining yogurt, a procedure basic to many of the Afghan, Iranian, and Indian marinades found in this c.d. Fortunately, you'll have plenty of yogurt whey left over from making them, but since you shouldn't have to rely on whey to prepare doh, I call for an equal amount of undrained yogurt as a substitute.
___ c yogurt whey or plain whole-milk yogurt
___ c club soda
_ tbs lemon juice, fresh or more to taste
_ tsp mint leaves dried
___ tsp salt, or more to taste
Ice cubes, for serving
Combine the yogurt whey, club soda, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, mint and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small pitcher or glass and stir to mix. Correct the seasoning, adding salt or lemon juice to taste. Pour into a tall glass over ice to serve.
Can be multiplied as desired
