Doogh 2.0

Doogh 2.0

Years ago.. I’m talking twenty plus years I met a friend on a random job in NYC.. we became friends after a few hours and went to shop at Bloomingdale’s for swimming suits after work that day….
When I moved to Los Angeles, she came to visit. We went to a restaurant in Westwood and after my first doogh I was hooked..
I bought mint a few times but it went bad as I was working on something else…today I finally made it. I blended some ice and mint with plain non fat yogurt (this one is cow as I ate the vanilla sheep yogurt the other morning at 4:am). I added dried rose petals sugar and a raspberries rose probiotic drink and of course rose water…

If you want alcohol you can use sparkling Crémant rosé.. it’s excellent without it though..
Yogurt works with the spicy foods from Middle East Africa and India ..
Garnish with mint and sugar. I highly recommend a rose petal sugar rim.
I bought the rose petal sugar at Surfas Culver City, CA location which if you are local to Los Angeles this could be great news. I will put a similar one in my store Blonde Behind the Bucket storefront if you aren’t though.


AND No! No! no..
This drink is not sweet and isn’t meant to be although it translate to mean« treaty »..
Maybe that’s what I will do with my mangoes…

Doogh 2.0

Ingredients

6 oz of plain nonfat yogurt (this Norr organic sure does taste full fat to me)

10 sprigs of mint (and one for the garnish so 11 sprigs of mint)

1 cup of ice

2 oz raspberry rose probiotic drink

2 Tablespoons of agave or honey one for the drink and one for the sugar rim

Pinch of fine salt (think Maldon because it is a fine flakey sea salt and dissolves almost instantly)

Dried edible rose petals to mix with sugar or premade rose petal sugar

Method

Place rose petal sugar on a saucer. Add honey or agave to the rim of a glass. Roll glass in the sugar mixture and set aside or refrigerate. The remainder sugar in saucer can be used to top the drink.

Add all ingredients to a blending machine except sparkling water and one sprig of mint. The sparkling is the topper and that one extra mint sprig is for the garnish. Blend until see a crushed ice consistency. Kinda slushy like. Pour into rose petal sugar rimmed glass. Top with sparkling raspberries rose water. Top with rose petal sugar sugar and mint.

Glass: bucket glass

Garnish: dried rose petals sugar and mint sprig
