Ingredients
1 1/2 cups/360 g unsweetened plain yogurt
1 large/about 240 g ripe peach or nectarine, peeled and diced, plus a few pieces to garnish
3/4 cup/180 ml water, chilled (you can add more or less depending on how thin you like the consistency)
4 to 5 fresh mint leaves, plus a few sprigs to garnish
sugar or sweetener of choice, to taste
Instructions
- Place the yogurt, peaches, water, and mint leaves in a blender. Pulse until smooth and completely combined. Taste and add sugar or sweetener if desired.
- Serve in chilled glasses with or without crushed ice and garnish with extra peach fruit pieces and a sprig of fresh mint.
Notes
- I’m leaving the sweetener option up to you. If the fruit is very sweet, you might not need to add any or just a little. I like my lassis lightly sweetened.
- Nectarines are a good substitute for peaches but feel free to experiment with other seasonal stone fruit. The color of the drink will change depending on the fruit used.
- If you’re feeling lazy as I do sometimes. Skip peeling the fruit, dice and add it to the blender, and pulse until smooth. You can strain the liquid to get rid of any skin bits.
