🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Watermelon: Cut the watermelon into cubes, removing the rind and any seeds. You should have about 2 cups of cubed watermelon. Nobody likes the texture of the seeds, trust me!
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon, yogurt (or your preferred alternative), sugar or honey (if using), cardamom powder, and ice cubes.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until it’s perfectly smooth and creamy. This might take a minute or two, depending on your blender’s power. Ensure there are no chunks left.
- Check Consistency: If the lassi is too thick, add a splash of water or milk (dairy or non-dairy) to reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend again. I usually prefer a milkshake-like consistency, how about you?
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the lassi and adjust the sweetness or spice level as needed. Add more sugar or honey if you prefer it sweeter, or a pinch more cardamom for a spicier flavor.
- Pour and Garnish: Pour the lassi into serving glasses. Garnish with a small wedge of watermelon, a sprig of mint, or a sprinkle of cardamom powder for an extra touch of elegance. Sometimes I even add a small umbrella, just for the fun of it!
- Serve Immediately: Serve your Hydrating Watermelon Wonder Lassi immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste! This lassi is best enjoyed fresh, especially on a hot day.
