Okay, I'll admit to preferring a sweet lassi especially after trying another spiced lassi on this site. This one is actually drinkable and it kind of grows on you. I actually might make this again - which is high praise indeed. My toddler tried it and while she shuddered from the ice cold water, she didn't spit it out. These days a neutral reaction is a good thing lol.
