Lassi is a popular traditional yogurt-based drink that originated in India. At the Food Forest Restaurant we use our own home made yogurt and the fresh fruit- and even with vegetables and herbs - from our gardens and food forest to make this amazing thirst lessing healthy drink. Cucumber can be picked in our vegetable gardens when in season; cucumber lassi is a very interesting, fresh and lovely refreshing drink.
