Ingredients
- 2 cups Plain yogurt

- 2 Cardamom pods
- 1 teaspoon Rose water
- 4 Ice cubes
- 4 Mint leaves (for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Chilled milk (optional)

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
If you'd like a lighter consistency, add the optional chilled milk and blend briefly again.
Add the ice cubes to the blender and pulse a few times to chill the lassi thoroughly.
