1 cup yoghurt
2 cups water

2-3 cubes of ice per glass
*Frozen fruits can be used for making lassi. If you have a large freezer, freeze fruit when in season.
Instructions
Put all ingredients except ice in a liquidizer and blend.
When using fruits like blueberries, pass through a strainer to remove bits of skin.
Put ice cubes in chilled, tall glasses. Pour lassi on top of cubes and serve with drinking straws.
*If using fruits like blueberries, it is best to sieve the lassi to remove any bits of skin floating around.
