Ingredients
- 240 g Natural greek style yoghurt or 1 cup
- 80 ml milk or ⅓ cup
- 180 g sugar or ½ cup
- 3 tbs lemon juice
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat the milk, the yoghurt, and the sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Place it over low heat until it is warm (just small bubbles form) but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
- Add the lemon juice, and stir well to mix the ingredients. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool a bit.
- Place a strainer over a sterilised glass bottle and pour the Calpis mixture through the strainer to remove any lumps or solids.
- To make Calpis drink, pour 1/4 cup of the calpis yoghurt mixture into a glass. Add 3/4 cup of mineral water and mix well. Serve it chilled over ice!
