Strawberry Lassi - Refreshing Yogurt-Based Drink from India

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 cups plain yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt for creaminess)

  • 2-3 tablespoons honey or sugar (adjust based on your sweetness preference)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder (optional, for a hint of spice)
  • Ice cubes (for serving)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by washing the strawberries thoroughly, then hull and slice them into smaller pieces to make blending easier.
  2. In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries, yogurt, milk, honey (or sugar), and cardamom powder, if using. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness as needed. If you like it a bit thinner, add more milk until the desired consistency is reached.
