Note: If you didn’t grow up drinking buttermilk, this spicy-fruity drink is a good way to try it out. The East Indian drink is usually made with yogurt, but buttermilk works well. Add more honey if you prefer a sweeter drink.

• 1 c. buttermilk

• 1 c. frozen or fresh mango cubes

• 1 tbsp. honey

• 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom

• 1/4 tsp. ground mace

Directions

Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a cube or two of ice.
