Spiced kefir is a quick, savory-leaning drink that works much like a spicy lassi. Tangy plain kefir carries five ground spices: cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, turmeric and coriander. Together they give a warm, earthy, golden glass with no cooking at all. It is a simple base for experimenting, since you can shift the spice balance to taste. The contributor also notes what happens if the mix is left out for days.

Instructions

Pour the plain kefir into a jar or large glass. The source gives no quantity, so start with a amount that suits the number of people you are serving.

Add the cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, turmeric and coriander to the kefir.

Stir well until the spices are evenly mixed in and the drink has a uniform golden color, with no dry clumps of powder floating on top. Serve it straight away.
