Refreshing Cooler
"This is a more thick and creamy version of the yoghurt drink. It has great flavor. The amount of spices one uses basically depends on one's preference. The secret of the refreshing taste is basically the lemon leaves. Makes a great drink after a hard day and very easy to make."

Delicious! (Though it might be an acquired taste for the uninitiated) Thanks, now I know how to make the drink I enjoyed at Indian restaurants back home (in Malaysia)!
