Sweet Mint Lassi

Lassi is a unique and wonderful Indian drink. The first time I ordered one at an Indian restaurant, I figured I probably wouldn't like it, but wanted to taste something authentic. Boy was I wrong-- it was fantastic! It was so delicious and refreshing, and unlike anything I have ever had to drink. Lassi can either be sweet or salty, and is usually flavored with mint, banana or mango. This sweet mint Lassi is my favorite! Enjoy!
