Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
- 2 cups plain yogurt or dairy-free yogurt alternative
- 2 cups plain yogurt in a bowl
- 2-4 tablespoons honey or maple syrup to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Strawberries:
- Wash the strawberries under cold water and remove the stems.
- Slice the strawberries into smaller pieces for easier blending.
Blend the Ingredients:
- In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries, plain yogurt (or dairy-free alternative), honey or maple syrup, ground cardamom, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground black pepper, and ice cubes.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- For a creamier texture, you can use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt.
- To make the lassi dairy-free, use coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt instead of dairy yogurt.
Taste and Adjust:
- Taste the strawberry lassi and adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more honey or maple syrup if needed.
- Adjust the sweetness of the lassi based on the ripeness of the strawberries. Riper strawberries may require less sweetener.
Serve:
- Pour the strawberry lassi into glasses.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
- This is the simplest yet most elegant way of giving the drink an elite look. You can also use a bit of flower petals to decorate it to take perfect social media-worthy photos but do not end up eating the petals raw!
- Feel free to customize your lassi by adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or a splash of rose water for added flavor.
- You can use crushed nuts and sliced strawberries as toppings. You can also use a bit of whipped cream or strawberry cookie chips or a scoop of ice cream into it. Try out different combinations to suit your taste buds the most.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing flavors of this homemade strawberry lassi!
