Creamy Almond Lassi

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
Lassi is not merely a drink, but the ancient conclusion to an Indian meal. The probiotic effect of yoghurt aids digestion after spicy foods, whilst almonds add a rich, nutty depth. This variation specifically evokes the courts of the Mughal emperors, where the use of rose water and nuts was a symbol of opulence. Excellent as a breakfast energy drink or an afternoon cooler.

Instructions

1 ✓

Place the almonds in a small bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover. Leave to stand for 5-10 minutes, then slip off the skins if using whole almonds.

Tip: Removing the skin and soaking softens the almond fibres, resulting in a much creamier, silkier drink texture.
2 ✓

Place the almonds, sugar, and a little milk into the blender. Blitz until you have a fine, paste-like consistency.

Tip: If you blend with a small amount of liquid first, the blades catch the almonds better, ensuring they don't remain gritty.
3 ✓

Add the remaining milk, yoghurt, and rose water. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until the top is frothy.

Tip: The yoghurt proteins form a stable network around the air bubbles, making the drink light and frothy.
4 ✓

Toss in the ice cubes and crush them with the machine, or simply fill the glasses with ice and pour the lassi over.

Tip: Blending with ice gives a 'frappé'-style, slushy texture.
5 ✓

Pour into glasses and garnish the top with a few almonds or a pinch of cardamom.

Recipe FAQ

The drink is too thick, what should I do?
Add a little more milk or cold water until you reach the desired consistency.
Can I use roasted almonds?
Yes, roasting gives a more intense, caramel-like flavour, whilst blanched almonds result in a softer, creamier taste profile.
