About This Recipe

Keeping yourself hydrated is very important during summers and also making sure that you consume ingredients that helps to protect you from the scorching heat outside.

Therefore along with drinking water on a regular basis, I also make sure to consume shakes, juices, or even mocktails to keep me hydrated.  And when it comes to Indian drinks, Lassi is my absolute favorite.

Lassi is a very popular yogurt-based drink in India, especially in North India where it’s made thick and creamy and it’s just the perfect drink to sip this summer.

Today I’m going to present to you a royal and decadent version of the traditional lassi, Rose Lassi. Rose Lassi is a refreshing combination of yogurt and rose syrup and it is a perfect drink to sip on warm summer days.

Ingredients

To make this delicious and fragrant Lassi, you will need just 4 key ingredients – Rose Syrup, Yogurt, Sugar, and Milk. Yes, that’s it!

Make sure to use a good quality rose syrup for a better taste. For this simple divine recipe, I use the popular rose syrup called Rooh Afza that gives it a rather unique taste. You could use any brand of Rose Syrup, but the most popular one in the market is Rooh Afza, it also gives the sweet lassi a beautiful hue of pink.

Add ice cubes while making the Lassi, because it tastes the best when chilled or you can refrigerate it for an hour before serving. 

Once you make the Lassi, garnish it with crushed dry fruits and rose petals. I have used pistachios here, but you can even add crushed almonds and cashews.

You can also make rose lassi by adding gulkand to it. Gulkand is a jam made using fresh rose petals. It gives a very unique taste to the lassi. Add 1 tbsp gulkand to the below-mentioned recipe but make sure to reduce the amount of sugar as gulkand is quite sweet.

I have not added any additional colour to the recipe to enhance its appearance.

Step by Step Recipe

Add yogurt and chilled milk in a bowl and whisk using a wire whisk until smooth and creamy.

Add rose syrup, sugar and ice cubes and whisk well until frothy.

Pour the lassi in serving glasses. Garnish with chopped pistachios, rose syrup and rose petals. Serve chilled.

Serving Suggestions

Pour this delicious rosy pink concoction into a beautiful serving glass and top it with some chopped almonds and pistachios for a nice crunch.

You could also top this sweet rose lassi with some fresh or dried rose petals; this adds a love flavor to the whole drink and makes it simply irresistible.

Serve Rose Lassi on its own for your breakfast or a snack or serve it on the side with your festive meals or meals that you are preparing for special occasions. 

You can also serve it to your guests with some pre-made snacks such as Methi Mathri, Spicy Masala Kaju, and Makhana Namkeen.

Storage Suggestions

You can store Lassi in a sealed container or glass bottle for about 2 days in the refrigerator.  I don’t recommend freezing it as it might result in a change in the texture.

Notes

If you want to make a thick version of lassi, avoid whisking it in a blender. Use a hand held whisk instead. 

Use thick full fat yogurt to make this lassi. The yogurt should not be sour.  Homemade yogurt is the best.

If you like very thick lassi, then instead of blending everything in a blender, use a wire whisk to make the lassi.

Adding Gulkand in Lassi? Then reduce the amount of sugar as gulkand has lot’s of sugar in it already.

If you are a diabetic, then add sugar free instead of sugar in lassi.
