Instructions

  1. Pour the milk into a bowl, add the plain yogurt and mix well.
  2. Cover and leave to rest at room temperature for 6 to 8 hours, until the milk thickens and takes on a slight tang.
  3. Finely chop the mint and stir it into the milk with the salt.
  4. Whisk gently and add the cold water to get a smooth, drinkable consistency.
  5. Chill for an hour before serving, with a few ice cubes if you like.

Variations and tips

Tangier version. Let it ferment for 12 hours for a stronger flavour.
