Throughout India, creamy, chilled lassis are the go-to beverage for cooling off during the warmer months. To make them, milk or water-thinned yogurt is blended with ingredients such as strawberries or—as in this recipe—ripe mangoes, resulting in a refreshing drink that's as thick as a milkshake. This recipe first appeared in the tablet edition of our August/September 2014 special India issue.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain, full-fat yogurt
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 12 cup whole milk
  • 14 cup sugar
  • 12 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1" pieces, plus more for garnish
  • Vanilla ice cream or heavy cream, for topping (optional)

Instructions

Step 1
