| Don't know of a specific recipe, but just last night I experimented
with a yogurt drink - I was trying to come up with something like
the "lassi" I had at a local Indian restaurant.
The recipe I had called for plain yogurt, sugar, heavy cream, rose
water for flavor, and ice cubes. Since I didn't have any cream or
rose water, and the only yogurt I had was vanilla, I tried just
blending the yogurt with the ice cubes - and voila! A very cool,
refreshing drink indeed.
I expect that you could try mixing a small amount of orange juice
with the yogurt until you got the consistency you wanted. Sounds
delicious, too, rather like a Creamsicle; I'll have to try this!
