It's a yoghurty drink... beyond that, hard to describe... next time you're in the North, try it.

The Greek Cypriot's call it Airani - its a yoghurt drink with mint taste, doesn't sound great but if you try it you might like it.

Can you get it in the Republic of Cyprus Liza? I've never looked for it in the shops so I don't know. Strangely enough, we can get it over here from the Church in Mansfield... Shocked
