Come summer, sweet-fleshed mangoes begin appearing in Indian markets. Chilled drinks become an everyday necessity. Establishments selling sugarcane juice, creamy sherbets, and buttermilk do brisk business. In Punjab, the drink of choice is the lassi, made from beaten full-fat yogurt that is salted or sweetened with sugar. Traditionally, the first step to making a lassi involves setting a bowl of full-fat milk into curd. The cap of thick cream that settles on the curd is scooped off and set aside, and the rest of the yogurt is whisked by hand with a wooden churn until it is light and frothy. Into this goes a shower of sugar, and a block of ice to keep the lassi cool. Finally, it is all poured into a kulhad or clay cup, crowned with the scooped-off cream, and served. In a mango lassi, the buttermilk is brightened with mango and served chilled.

Good Housekeeping’s recent sleep survey found a whopping 79% of readers struggle with sleep quality, and 72% said they had tried sleep-enhancing products in bid to get more Zs, with aromatherapy, sleep trackers, and sleep teas proving the most popular. But could it be as simple as a cup of tea before hitting the hay?

The best sleep teas to help you relax and unwind

Blame it on the baby’s 3 a.m. hunger cries, the dog’s middle-of-the-night potty needs or your SO’s industrial-strength snoring — whatever the reason, the struggle for sound slumber is real. Sure, you may have learned to power through the next day like a pro by chugging mega-size mugs of coffee (or whatever caffeinated bev you favor). But with that push comes the afternoon crash, when all bets on being productive are off.

SAVEUR

SAVEUR contributing editor Jessie YuChen often throws pan-cultural popups and parties around New York City—sometimes in restaurants, but also in shops, homes, and event spaces with varying collections of kitchen equipment. This vibrant, violet-colored ice cream suits all kinds of events nicely; the plant-based treat comes together easily, no ice-cream machine required. Sweet-and-salty flavor combinations are beloved in Taiwan, where YuChen grew up; they suggest sandwiching this ice cream between Ritz crackers or even scallion crisps for an unexpected savory twist.
