Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons rose syrup
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom powder
  • ¼ teaspoon saffron strands
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • ¼ teaspoon edible gold dust

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a blender, combine 2 cups plain yogurt, 3 tablespoons rose syrup, 0.5 teaspoon cardamom powder, and 0.5 cup cold water.

  2. 2

    Blend on high until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds. Taste and add more rose syrup if you prefer it sweeter.

  3. 3

    Add 1 cup ice cubes and blend again until the ice is crushed and the lassi is chilled, about 20 seconds.

  4. 4

    Pour the lassi into two tall glasses. The mixture should be thick but pourable, with a light pink color.

  5. 5

    Garnish each glass with a pinch of saffron strands and a light dusting of edible gold dust. Serve immediately.
