A lassi is a traditional Indian beverage created by blending yogurt, spices, and, in this case, fruit together to create a cool and refreshing drink perfect to pair with a spicy dish! This potable can be made quickly and keeps in the refrigerator for up to one day. For a twist on the original recipe, this drinkable calls for strawberry yogurt.

- ¼ cup milk of choice
