By Garland Pollard. The original conditioner, Tame, is back on the shelves as a house brand at Dollar Tree. On the back, it has âDistributed by Dollar Treeâ so you know its an exclusive.

If youâre used to the sweet Indian drink âlassiâ then laban will be different, which is only flavoured by the slight addition of salt and mint if desired. Laban usually complements kebabs very well, providing a cool refreshing satiating drink, balancing the heat and the smokiness of the barbecue goods.
No extreme heat here in the UK, but still I crave laban every now and then, even if we didnât have a barbecue. My doctor has even told me to consume more fluid and salt, due to my low blood pressure, so what better excuse to have a glass of laban. Laban â Yoghurt drink â Makes 1 litre. 1 cup, 250 ml, thick yoghurt (you can use low fat too) 3 cups, 750 ml, water (or carbonated water) 1/4 â 1/2 teaspoon salt to taste.
