On a sweltering summer day, a pitcher of lemonade or iced tea is the quintessential American pick-me-up. But if you’re Indian, you likely pass on both of those drinks for a tall glass of ice-cold mango lassi.
Pronounced “LUH-see,” the drink has many variations from sweet, salty, minty and even spicy. In fact, on the Indian subcontinent, lassi generally refers to any yogurt based drink and it’s a lot like a smoothie or a shake, but thinner and much frothier.
