Preparation time: 10 min
4 cups (950 ml) plain yogurt or cultured buttermilk
2 teaspoon rose-water
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom seeds
3 cups (700 ml) ice water
6 tablespoon sugar or 5 tablespoon honey
crushed ice (optional)
Mix all the ingredients together with a whisk or an electric blender until the surface of the lassi becomes frothy. Serve chilled, either by adding crushed ice or by refrigeration.
As an alternative to rose-water and cardamom, try 3 tablespoons of lime or lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of flavored syrup, or 1/2 cup (50 g) of crushed red berries, ripe banana, or ripe mango.
