Doogh (Yogurt Drink)
Summer is hitting Hong Kong hard, and despite it being all sunny and warm on Sunday, I decided that I would make Fesenjan, which is a very warm and hearty winter dish. To counter its heat, I thought I would make a traditional Persian drink to go with it just to help me cool down a bit.
The name of the drink is pretty cute: Doogh, and if you haven't heard of it before, it's pretty similar to a Lassi--the salty, not sweet or fruity, kind. And, well, there's mint in it too, which makes it all the more refreshing and perfect for a hot summer's day!
