Indian drinks to tempt your tastebuds

To end our national curry week themed blogs we share our top 3 Indian inspired drinks. From classic chai to cooling lassis—milk- or water-thinned yogurt mixed with fruit or other flavourings India has a long tradition of inventive, often richly spiced drinks. Give them a go and let us know what you think over on social.

Mango Lassi

Easy

Milkshake-like drink
