Mango Lassi

Mango Lassi

This is a frosty smoothy suitable for a hot afternoon.

Makes one pitcherful, enough for 6-8 people.

I don't know where this recipe comes from. We just winged it.

Ingredients:

32oz tub of plain full-fat yogurt (lowfat is also fine, but no-fat has a weird chalky texture)
1 lb frozen mangoes
Cold water as needed to thin the drink
1 tbsp rosewater (optional) (we didn't have this at Sherwood and it was still good)
Sugar to taste

Special equipment:
A sturdy blender.

Procedure:

FIRST THING: If you have an ordinary blender (instead of a heavy duty one like a BlenderTec or a Kitchen Aid), thaw the mangoes til they're a bit soft.

Then...

Combine the yogurt and mangoes in the blender. Whiz them until smooth. Add water, half a cup at a time, as needed to thin the mix enough to be blend-able and drinkable. (The water amount will vary wildly depending on how thick your yogurt is.)

Add sugar to suit your taste. Blend thoroughly.

Add rosewater. Blend thoroughly.

Serve immediately.
