Savoury Kefir with Cucumber and Mint
Makes 1 serving

INGREDIENTS
250 ml Kefir
100 g Cucumber
A small handful of leaves Fresh mint
A pinch, toasted Ground cumin
A good pinch Salt
Four cubes Ice

METHOD
1. Toast the cumin in a dry pan for thirty seconds until it smells warm, then tip it out so it does not burn.
2. Roughly chop the cucumber, skin on, and blend it with the kefir, mint, salt and most of the cumin until smooth and pale green.
3. Pour over ice and sprinkle the rest of the cumin on top.

Contains milk.

RECIPE NOTES
Salt is the whole point of a savoury yogurt drink. Without enough it tastes like a mistake; with enough it tastes like a hot afternoon in Istanbul.
For a thicker version use 150 g of 0% Greek yogurt and 100 ml of water in place of the kefir. The protein roughly doubles and the calories stay about the same.
