Mango and Mint Lassi
If you haven’t heard of lassi before, you’re in for a treat. This popular, traditional Indian yogurt-based drink can be prepared sweet or salty and can include many different Indian spices and flavors. It is a refreshing summer drink, and outside of “plain” lassi, it can come in many flavors like mango and rose and even can be made in a vegan-friendly version.
Two of our favorite forms of lassi are Savory Mint Lassi and this Sweet Mango Lassi recipe.
Either of these beverages would make a great afternoon snack, a special surprise for your next party, or a refreshing accompaniment for any of our hot and spicy entreés!
