Mango Lassi
By: Kara Parnell
One of my favourite things about really great food is its ability to transport us! I've never been to India, but I can imagine myself there, in the land where "the air is full of spices". With the heat and spice of Indian climate and cuisine, no wonder this wonderful country was inspired to make the perfect refreshing counter in Mango Lassi.
If you're looking for a refreshing escape from the heat of summer, whip up our quick and easy recipe for Mango Lassi today!
