Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the plain yogurt until it is smooth and creamy.

Add the fresh lemon juice to the mixture and stir again.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more black salt for a tangier flavor or sugar for a slight sweetness.

Step 6

Chill the yogurt juice in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
