Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup cold milk
- 2–3 tablespoons rose water
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Start by adding the plain yogurt into a blender. Then, pour in the cold milk. This forms the creamy base for your lassi. Next, add in the rose water, which will give the drink its signature floral flavor. If you like your lassi a little sweeter, add honey or sugar, adjusting it based on your preference. Blend everything together until smooth and creamy. For a chilled version, add a handful of ice cubes before blending or serve the lassi over ice. Once blended to your desired consistency, pour the lassi into a glass, garnish with a few dried rose petals or a sprinkle of cardamom powder if you like, and serve immediately.
Notes
For the best results, use plain, unsweetened yogurt to keep the lassi creamy and balanced. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking by increasing or decreasing the honey or sugar. If you’re looking for a dairy-free version, substitute regular milk with almond or coconut milk and opt for a dairy-free yogurt. For an extra touch of elegance, you can garnish the lassi with dried rose petals or a sprinkle of ground cardamom.
