Notes

  • To make the doogh even more refreshing, you can add chopped apples or crushed ice to the mixture.
  • You can also use a ready-made yogurt drink instead of making your own.
  • If the doogh is too thick, you can thin it out with some additional water.
  • For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a pinch of cardamom or cinnamon to the mixture.
  • For extra sweetness, you can also add a tablespoon of honey or sugar to the drink.
  • You can garnish it with some fresh mint leaves before serving.
  • If you’re looking for an alcohol-free alternative to doogh, try adding sparkling mineral water for a bubbly effect.
  • For an even more unique flavor, you can also add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the doogh.
  • You can also switch up the flavors by adding fruits like strawberries or oranges.
