Honey-Ginger Lassi image

This is different than a traditional Lassi in that it doesn't include yogurt. It is something like a thin milkshake with a bit of spice. Recipe is from Vegetarian Planet. There is also a variation to make it a warm drink.

Time 5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups whole milk or 2 1/2 cups low-fat milk
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger (heaping)
2 pinches freshly grated nutmeg
8 medium ice cubes or 4 large ice cubes
ice, for the glasses

Steps:

  • Combine all of the ingredients except the ice in a blender. Blend for 30 seconds to froth the milk.
  • Add the ice cubes, and blend until the ice is pulverized. Pour the lassi into large glasses filled with ice, and serve.
  • Variation: The same ingredients can make a soothing warm drink. Increase the milk to 3 cups, and heat it almost to a boil. Add the honey, ginger, and nutmeg, and stir well. Omit the ice. Serve in mugs.

This is a great recipe for a healthy and refreshing drink. I love the fact that it's made with yogurt, which makes it a good source of protein and calcium.

This was a great way to use up some leftover yogurt. The honey and ginger gave it a nice flavor and the cardamom added a bit of spice. I'll definitely be making this again.

This was so easy to make and so delicious! I used a little less honey than the recipe called for and it was still plenty sweet. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The honey and ginger flavors were perfectly balanced and the yogurt made it a refreshing and creamy drink. I'll definitely be making this again.
