Chalap, also marketed as Tan, is a beverage common to Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. It consists of qatiq or suzma, salt, and in modern times, carbonated water.
The Shoro beverage company markets chalap as "Chalap Shoro" ().
In Uzbekistan, chalap is part of rural culture, originating from nomadic traditions. In Uzbek cuisine, it includes vegetables, giving it the appearance of a cold soup.
