Doogh (dooqh, also dugh) a yogurt-based beverage popular in Iran, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. Doogh is prepared by beating unflavored yogurt until smooth, and then diluting with water to a consistency similar to whole milk. Salt, pepper and dried mint are mixed in. Carbonation is achieved by letting it ferment. Doogh is generally served chilled, or over ice. A variation is adding diced cucumbers to provide an extra “crunch”.
I’m in Charlottesville, VA for a MediaStorm Multimedia Storytelling class at the LOOK3 conference, and we ended up across the street from an Afghani restaurant this evening and decided to stop in. The waitress offered us a special drink called “Doogh” and we delightfully accepted. Apparrently us american fellas don’t quite have a taste for it as seen below in Dave’s disgust…
We have decided that from now on any edible item that is absolutely repulsive will be called “Doogh”.
example: That drink is so doogh!

Doogh is a one yogurt drink that is an acquired taste, but drink it a few times and you will eventually get used to it.
I LOVE yogurt so it helps. Homemade doogh is the best in my opinion.
The mint in it is so good too.
YUM!!
