Beat the heat with lassi
While the summer heat has almost faded, the weather has recently been throwing us some scorchers. And what better to enjoy in this hot weather than a refreshing, ice-cold glass of lassi. This traditional drink of India is easy to make and much healthier than any fast-food milkshake or sundae.
Preparation Time: Less than 10 minutes Serves: 4 people
Kitchenware:
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring cup
- Teaspoon/Tablespoon
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cup of natural low fat yogurt
- 1 1/4 cup of water
- 4 teaspoons of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of puréed fruit (optional, mango is recommended)
- 1 tablespoon of crushed pistachio nuts (optional)
Preparation:
1. Place the yogurt in a mixing bowl and whisk until frothy
2. Pour in the water and puréed fruit (if desired)
3. Add in the sugar, one teaspoon at a time, whisking in between
4. Continue to whisk for 2 minutes
5. Sample and add more sugar if desired
6. Pour lassi into serving glasses and serve chilled (add ice cubes if necessary)
7. Sprinkle pistachio nuts on top to garnish (if desired)
Enjoy!
