I'm just curious enough to track down the ingredients and make this...is acacia honey essential, or would the honey from my honey guy down the street do?

Great! I think any low-key good quality honey would be fine. I have started quite the collection of varietal honey lately, and some can have a very distinctive, even overpowering taste. Since I tracked down sumac earlier and sapa recently, I am exploring their combinations. Because the sumac is a bit salty, and the sapa not that sweet, you need honey to balance this out. Let me know what you think.I seem to be on a roll with yogurt drinks lately.

I just made a dessert version which is thicker, creamier and tastier. I think the thinner versions of Ayran are not as good as the thicker ones. I love the thick creamy versions, I have to confess.

There is a lot of differences in honey flavors, from location to location, and depending on the time of year, too. For this reason, I like getting it wherever we go. We started eating honey from our guy up the street to help with seasonal allergies, but then noticed how the flavor was so good. Do you make your own yogurt?
