What each ingredient does

Plain yoghurt
Provides the tangy flavour and creamy body that defines the drink.
Water
Thins the yoghurt to a light, drinkable consistency.

The step that matters

Add water and continue beating until thoroughly blended. Adding the water gradually while beating helps it combine evenly with the yoghurt, keeping the mixture smooth rather than lumpy or separated.
