Saffron Lassi
Indulge in the exotic flavors of India with our Saffron Lassi. This delightful concoction, often served to combat the heat of the Indian summer, is a creamy, frothy yogurt-based drink infused with the magic of saffron strands and the aromatic hint of cardamom. The saffron not only imparts a unique flavor but also bestows a beautiful golden hue to the drink, making it as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the palate.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- Ice cubes
- 1 cup
- Cardamom powder
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Saffron strands
- a pinch
- Sugar
- 2 tablespoons
- Water
- 1/2 cup
- Yogurt
- 2 cups, chilled
Instructions
- Begin by soaking the saffron strands in 2 tablespoons of warm water for about 5-10 minutes. This process, known as blooming, helps to release the color and flavor of the saffron.
- In a blender, add the chilled yogurt, water, and sugar. The sugar can be adjusted according to taste.
- Next, add the bloomed saffron water and cardamom powder to the blender. Cardamom adds a fragrant note that pairs well with the saffron.
- Blend all the ingredients until well combined and a creamy consistency is achieved.
- Add the ice cubes and blend again until the lassi is frothy and chilled. The ice not only cools the lassi but also contributes to its frothy texture.
- Pour the lassi into glasses and serve immediately. For a touch of elegance, garnish with a few extra strands of saffron or a sprinkle of cardamom powder on top.
