Buttermilk Lassi

Although I've never personally been to the Indian subcontinent, I'm a huge fan on the various dairy-based beverages that go by the name "lassi." Most include yogurt and fruit of some type.
My favorite homemade version is built instead on buttermilk, which I always seem to have left over from biscuit-making, and mangoes, whose funky terpene flavors (kinda like pinesap) balance the buttermilk's acidic snap.
