Lemon Yoghurt Drink

This Lemon Yoghurt Drink is fantastic. I was introduced to it relatively recently, when we went to share an Iftar meal during Ramadan with friends.  It’s really refreshing and silky smooth. 

They say….”When Life Gives You Lemons,… Make Lemonade.”

Well I say “If Life gives you lemons, make Lemon Yoghurt Drink.” Home-made Lemonade is lovely, but Lemon Yoghurt Drink is even more glorious.

The flavour of the best Lemon Curd ever

The flavour is wonderful and fresh.  At the same time it’s so creamy and a real pleasure. The beautiful fresh lemon scent reminded me of the Amalfi Coast with all its fantastic lemon groves.

The glorious citrus, bitter sweet flavour reminded me of the lemon curd my Gran used to make, it was the best ever and I loved it. And if I’m being totally honest, it also reminds me of those wonderful Gu Lemon Cheesecake desserts – truly indulgent!

Its surprising that what may at first seem as just yet another drink, invokes all these wonderful memories. I’ve never really thought of it as a comfort food before, but I guess in a way it is, simply because through its scents and its flavours, it transports you back to times gone by, times that were good and hold fond memories.

Feel free to adjust the sweetness of your Lemon Yoghurt Drink

The amount of sugar in the recipe can be adjusted to your own personal taste. Similarly it could be replaced by honey.

Ingredients

  • juice of 4 large lemons – reserve a few very thin slices from the lemons
  • zest of 2 lemons
  • 750ml plain yoghurt
  • 500ml water
  • about ½ cup castor sugar
  • ice to serve

Method

Squeeze the lemons very thoroughly – you need as much of the fleshy part of the lemon as possible.

Make sure to get rid of any pips that may have been caught up whilst squeezing.

Put the lemon juice, zest, sugar and yoghurt into a blender and blitz thoroughly, until it becomes frothy & smooth.

Transfer the yoghurt mix to a jug, add the water and lemon slices and mix thoroughly.

Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary.

Refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.

Serve your beautiful Lemon Yoghurt Drink with plenty of ice.
