It’s not officially summer quite yet, but the recent temperatures here in New York say otherwise. I decided to take advantage of the early days of strawberry season and cool off with an icy strawberry lassi.

A lassi is a traditional Punjabi drink made with yogurt. The most traditional forms are salty, rather than sweet, and are believed to aid digestion. Sweet lassis often feature mango, sometimes with rosewater. Instead, I whipped up this light and refreshing strawberry lassi to provide some relief on these hot pre-summer days.

“Tell Kenny to go get the van.”

A competitor was having a sale on Coca-Cola. The price was something crazy, like $1.99 for a 12-pack, limit 10 per customer. (Please don’t hold me to that price. It’s been a decade.)
