  • 1 tsp Lemon Zest
  • 1 Tbsp Or as per taste Sugar Powder
  • Few sprigs of Mint/Basil
  • Few Ice Cubes.

Instructions

  1. Before extracting juice from lemons, grate these to get its zest. Grate only the yellow part avoiding the white part beneath it. After grating extract its juice. You can put the whole lemon, without cutting into 2, in the lemon squeezer and get perfect juice.

Recipe Notes

  1. Try to use thick dahi. In case it is very watery then keep it in a strainer for a while.
  2. Use any sweetener of your choice.
  3. You can make it ahead in the refrigerator. At the time of serving, just churn it again in the blender.
  4. Lemon zest, if extra, can be stored in the freezer. Use it for garnishing salads, soups or veggies.
