Sweet Lassi

Ah, its that time of year where I’m extremely busy occupying myself with summer-y things. You know, sitting, eating, walking outside – all the usual. Speaking of summer, today’s recipe is the perfect drink to mix up on hot summer day. You know, those painfully hot days where you start sweating as soon as you walk outside. Yeah, one of those days. So, when one of those days sneaks up on you I suggest cooling yourself off with a nice tall glass of Sweet Lassi. No, not your dog Lassie, this is actually pronounced Luss-see. Lassi’s are the sweet, tangy, and refreshing milkshakes of Pakistan and they’re really simple to make. So, lets get started with recipe, shall we?

Ingredients:

Directions:

These are going to be the shortest directions I have ever given. Basically, what you’re going to need to do is, now listen carefully, take all your ingredients (minus the pistachios) and put them in a blender. Then blend. Its truly as simple as that.

Just blend for a minute or two on high until everything comes together and seems to magically double in size. This is why you don’t want to fill the blender too high because the blended milk froths up considerably as it thickens with the yogurt. One more thing, if you want to make a different quantity all you really need to know is that the milk and yogurt are about a 1:1 ratio. This makes it oh so creamy!

Lastly, just taste for sweetness. If you want a more tangy sweetness from the yogurt add less sugar and if you want it more sugary just add more sugar and blend. Totally up to you. Well that’s about it. Garnish with some crushed pistachios or another assortment of crushed nuts and serve immediately. Enjoy!
