Remember those sweltering summer afternoons as a kid? The only thing that could truly beat the heat was a cold, creamy lassi, churned up by my grandmother, sitting on the porch swing. She always had a way of making the simplest things taste like magic, you know? This Raspberry Mint Lassi is my attempt to recreate that magic, with a fun, fruity twist.
This isn't just another recipe; it's an invitation to indulge in a symphony of flavors that dance on your tongue. The tangy raspberries, the invigorating mint, and the smooth yogurt create a harmonious blend that's both satisfying and revitalizing. Trust me, once you try it, you'll want to make it again and again. One of my friends even suggested adding a splash of lime, and it was surprisingly delicious! You can experiment with other fruits such as blueberries, strawberries, or mangoes too. Who knows what kind of beautiful creation you will come up with? Let me know in the comment section. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

📖 Instructions
Prepare the raspberries: Wash 1 cup of fresh raspberries thoroughly under cold water. If using frozen raspberries, there is no need to thaw them beforehand.
Combine ingredients: In a blender, combine the washed raspberries, 1 cup of plain yogurt (full-fat or low-fat, your choice!), ½ cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy), 2 tablespoons of honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option), and 10-12 fresh mint leaves. Make sure that the mint leaves are clean, and that the raspberries do not have stems or leaves.
Blend until smooth: Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the lassi is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency. On the other hand, if it is not thick enough, add a few ice cubes and blend again to thicken and chill at the same time.
Taste and adjust: Give the lassi a taste. If it's not sweet enough for your liking, add a little more honey or your sweetener of choice. If you want a tangier flavor, add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.
Chill (optional): For an extra refreshing treat, chill the lassi in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before serving. This step is totally optional but enhances the flavor, especially on a hot day.
Serve and garnish: Pour the Raspberry Mint Lassi into glasses. Garnish with a few fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint. For a fancy touch, you can also add a dusting of ground cardamom or a swirl of honey on top. Sip, savor, and enjoy this delightful and refreshing drink!
📝 Notes
For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup.
Adjust the amount of honey based on your preferred sweetness.
