Buttermilk with Mint & Spices ( Pudina Masala Chaas)

Chaas or Chaach is a traditional Indian yogurt based drink. It is  commonly taken after meals in many Indian households. It's consistency is thinner and it is mostly consumed cold. It helps in digestion.  It is also a great healthy drink on hot summer days, better than sugary and artificial drinks. I have added a twist by adding mint for a different flavor. Here is one flavorful, healthy, and easy drink for your taste buds.

Ingredients :
1 cup low fat plain yogurt (I use Trader Joe's plain nonfat yogurt)
