Equipment

  • 1 Blender

Ingredients

For the Lassi

  • 1 cup plain yogurt unsweetened, full-fat preferred
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup strawberries fresh or frozen, hulled
  • 2 tbsp sugar or honey, to taste
  • 1/8 tsp ground cardamom optional

Instructions

Blend the Lassi

  • Add the yogurt, milk, strawberries, sugar, and cardamom to a blender.
  • Blend on high for about 30-45 seconds until completely smooth.
  • If too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add a spoonful more yogurt.

Serve

  • Taste and add more sugar or honey if needed.
  • Pour into two glasses over ice if using fresh strawberries.
  • Garnish with a sliced strawberry or mint leaf and serve immediately.

Notes

Keep the yogurt-to-milk ratio high -- too much milk makes it taste like pink milk instead of a real lassi. Frozen strawberries blend smoother than fresh and skip the need for ice.
