Yield: Serves 4

·         Grate the ginger nobs (no need to peel them) on a coarse grater until you have 1/4 cup. Wash your hands well. Squeeze the ginger, extracting its juice into a small bowl, until you have 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of juice. (Don’t worry if some bits of ginger get into the juice.)  

·         In an upright blender, combine the ginger juice, yogurt, lemon juice, agave nectar and water. Blend for 30 seconds to mix well.

·         Immediately before serving, add the ice to the blender and puree until smooth and frothy, about 1 minute.

3-4 large fresh ginger nobs

3 cups (24 oz) plain yogurt

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup agave nectar

3/4 cup cold water
