Advice
Partially freeze the apricots for a thicker body; if skins are tough, blend 30 seconds longer or strain for an ultra-smooth sip.
Why it works
Apricot pectin + kefir proteins create natural creaminess; lemon sharpens fruit notes while a pinch of salt boosts perceived sweetness.
Twist
Swap kefir for ayran-style yogurt + water for a lighter, tangier profile, or blend in 1 tbsp plum jam (pekmez) for Balkan depth.
