Moonlit Mango Lassi – A Taste of Sunshine in Every Sip

Allergens

Milk, Dairy

Ingredients

• 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and pitted
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tsp cardamom powder
• Pinch of saffron threads
• 3 tbsp sugar or to taste
• Ice cubes as needed

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, combine mangoes, milk, and cardamom powder. Heat on low heat until the mangoes soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
2. While the mixture is heating, steep the saffron threads in a tablespoon of warm milk for 5 minutes.
3. Once the mango mixture has cooled slightly, puree it in a blender until smooth.
4. Add the yogurt and sugar to the puree and blend again until well combined.
5. Slowly add the saffron infused milk to the lassi, mixing gently to incorporate. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
6. Chill the lassi in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
7. Serve over ice, garnished with a sprinkle of cardamom powder and a pinch of saffron threads.
