Ingredients
  

  • 1 very ripe avocado
  • 1 cup (240 g / 8.5 oz) plain Greek yogurt, preferably a few days old for extra tang
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole or low-fat milk
  • 1 teaspoon (3 g / 0.11 oz) ground cinnamon
  • 2–4 tablespoons (42-84 g / 2.96 oz) runny honey, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) rose water, or to taste
  • For an extra tangy flavor reminiscent of traditional lassis, use plain yogurt that is 3-4 days old.
  • To make this recipe vegan, substitute the Greek yogurt with a thick, unsweetened coconut or soy yogurt, use a plant-based milk, and swap the honey for maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • For a thicker, frostier lassi, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender during the final blend. For a thinner consistency, simply add a splash more milk.

Method
 

  1. Prepare the avocado by halving it, carefully removing the pit, and scooping the flesh into a high-speed blender.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, and ground cinnamon to the blender.
  3. Blend on high for 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) of honey and 1 teaspoon of rose water to start.
  5. Blend for another 10 seconds to combine.
  6. Taste the lassi. Rose waters can vary in strength, so add more little by little, along with more honey if you prefer it sweeter.
  7. Blend briefly after each addition.
  8. Once the flavor is balanced to your liking, pour the lassi into two tall glasses.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy.
  10. Garnish your lassi with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, finely chopped pistachios, or a few edible dried rose petals for a beautiful presentation.
