Yogurt Drink Base
Measure and combine
Place 0.25 cup plain whole-milk yogurt into a small bowl or a tall mixing cup. Add 0.7 cup cold water to the yogurt.
Sweeten and season
Add 0.5 tsp granulated sugar and a pinch of fine sea salt to the yogurt-water mixture. Add 0.25 tsp fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
Whisk until smooth
Whisk vigorously with a small whisk or use an immersion blender for 10–20 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth, slightly frothy, and homogenous. The texture should be thin enough to sip — about the consistency of a slightly thin buttermilk.
Adjust consistency
If the drink is thicker than desired, add up to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) additional cold water and whisk again. If too thin, add a scant teaspoon of yogurt and whisk to incorporate.
Optional Flavoring
Garnish & Serve
If desired, add 0.25 cup crushed ice to a 2.2 oz (approximately 65 ml) serving glass (or use chilled glass). Pour the yogurt drink into the serving glass, garnish with a small mint sprig, and serve immediately.
