Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut yogurt
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 Cardamom pods
- 4 Ice cubes
- 0.5 teaspoon Rose water
- 1 tablespoon Pistachios
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cardamom pods. Using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder, crush the cardamom pods to release their seeds. Discard the husks and grind the seeds into a fine powder.
In a blender, combine the coconut yogurt, coconut milk, water, sugar, and crushed cardamom. Blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Add the ice cubes into the blender and blend for another 30 seconds to make the lassi chilled and frothy.
Once blended, add the rose water and blend briefly to mix without over blending to preserve the rose water's subtle flavor.
Pour the lassi into two glasses. Optionally, you can chill the glasses in the freezer beforehand for an extra cold beverage.
Chop the pistachios coarsely and use them to garnish the top of each lassi, adding both a delightful crunch and visual appeal.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing dairy-free classic sweet lassi!
