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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the ice cubes into the blender and blend for another 30 seconds to make the lassi chilled and frothy.
Step 4
Once blended, add the rose water and blend briefly to mix without over blending to preserve the rose water's subtle flavor.
Step 5
Pour the lassi into two glasses. Optionally, you can chill the glasses in the freezer beforehand for an extra cold beverage.
Step 6
Chop the pistachios coarsely and use them to garnish the top of each lassi, adding both a delightful crunch and visual appeal.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing dairy-free classic sweet lassi!
