2
1 cup crushed ice, or 6 ice cubes
1 ripe papaya, peeled
2 tbsp honey
2 cups plain yogurt
pinch ground ginger, optional
If your food processor or blender cannot be used for crushing ice, place ice in a plastic bag, then wrap in a clean tea towel and use a hammer to coarsely crush. Place crushed ice in bowl of a food processor or blender. Slice papaya in half. Discard seeds. Coarsely chop and add to food processor or blender with honey, yogurt and ginger. Blend until smooth and frothy, about 2 minutes. Pour into tall chilled glasses.
