Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a blender, combine 2 cups plain yogurt, 3 tablespoons rose syrup, 0.5 teaspoon cardamom powder, and 0.5 cup cold water.

  2. Step 2

    Blend on high until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds. Taste and add more rose syrup if you prefer it sweeter.

  3. Step 3

    Add 1 cup ice cubes and blend again until the ice is crushed and the lassi is chilled, about 20 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the lassi into two tall glasses. The mixture should be thick but pourable, with a light pink color.

  5. Step 5

    Garnish each glass with a pinch of saffron strands and a light dusting of edible gold dust. Serve immediately.
