Summer is at its peak in India, nothing is more good than a glass of cold water. We tend to dislike food during this season, juice, fruits and ice cream taste best. Lassi is an ideal drink during summer.
Lassi is a traditional Indian yoghurt based drink. It is made using curd, water and a few spices. It may be sweet or salted. Fruits may be added in sweet lassi.
A few other summer drinks that I have on the blog are :Kiwi Lemonade,Coconut Cucumber Cooler, Strawberry LassiToday, I have cucumber lassi, it is spicy and tasty. Do give a try to this drink.
