This is an actual consumer product, in IranIt's called Doogh, and it's basically a carbonated yoghurt and spring water drink. My Iranian was extremely limited on my first day in the country, and though the Lonely Planet had taught me the correct word for Milk (Su, I think, or is that Turkish?), when I walked into a shop where clearly nobody spoke a word of English, and there were bottles of milk in the fridge, I didn't think it worth the energy to have a conversation about them. Of course, the writing on the bottles was in Arabic, so I wouldn't have recognised the word. We put some in a cup of tea ten minutes later. Carbonated yoghurt in tea? Not ideal!
