I’m not a fan of winter at all. I like long sunny days rather than short chilly days. However, there’s one thing I really love about winter. Citrus fruits. You can find them everywhere now.
Oranges. For some reason I always buy plenty of them when they’re in season. Next I spent hours trying to figure out what to do with them. Luckily, last Sunday was also my kind of perfect day. Sunny with a light cool breeze. So naturally I jumped at the opportunity to make a delicious drink.
This simple orange lassi is a perfect combination of all things healthy – oranges, yogurt and milk.
Ingredients
- 1 orange peeled, cut into segments
- 1 tablespoon yogurt
- 1 teaspoon sweetener of your choice honey or sugar
- ½ - ¾ cup milk
- Ice cubes to serve (optional)
- Chocolate syrup to coat the glass
- Mint leaves and orange rind to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place orange segments, yogurt, sweetener and milk in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- To make the swirl effect, pour chocolate syrup on the sides of the glass and use a small spoon to spread it.
- Pour orange lassi into the glass. Add ice cubes, if you like. Garnish with mint leaves and orange rind, if you like.
Notes
You can add some chocolate syrup to the lassi, if you like
