About the Salt Lassi

The milk and yoghurt family. Milk and yoghurt drinks are an old way to cool down in hot climates. Lassi comes from the Punjab, ayran is Turkey's national drink, and New York soda fountains invented the egg cream in the early 1900s. They are filling and soothing and calm spicy food.
