A Scandinavian-Inspired Lassi Of Sheer Whimsy

• 1 cup Greek yogurt, fage
• 3/4 cup fresh blueberries, wild Maine if you can find them
• 1 tablespoon lingonberry fruit preserve
• 1 teaspoon honey to taste, optional ( I used none)
• 1 ounce Akvavit, optional
• 1/4 teaspoon ground caraway seeds or spice of your liking (fennel, cardamom, saffron, for some suggestions)
• 3-4 ice cubes made of this recipe (or plain ice cubes)
• 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest
• sprinkle of ground caraway (or fennel) optional, for garnish
• Sprig of fresh spearmint, wintergreen leaf (gaulthria procumbens), or lavender for garnish

1. Ahead make one batch of these, pour into a small ice cube tray and freeze.
2. Add the yogurt, blueberries, lingonberry preserves, ground caraway, lime zest, and optionally Akvavit with 3-4 ice cubes of this mixture frozen or plain ice cubes and process in a blender. Do make sure the blender is securely tightened, as mine was not this morning. A little purple puddle to avoid.
3. Pour into 2 small glasses; garnish with a sprinkle of ground caraway and an herbal sprig. In the fall the reddish leaves of wintergreen would make a beautiful garnish for this drink.
