ROSE LASSI

Rose lassi is a cooling and refreshing summer drink, traditionally a Punjabi drink but has gained popularity throughout India. This recipe is nothing but lassi flavoured with rose syrup. Rose lassi is flavourful and healthy and anytime refreshment drink. It is sweet and rich drink and perfect to quench out thirst for this hot summer. This famous Punjabi drink is perfect to serve with lunch or even to have as a snack by itself because it is quite filling. Rose lassi is a creamy affair of rose syrup and yogurt. This drink is soothing and acts as a great coolant during anytime of the year. Reason being both yogurt and rose are great coolants and I just love the light pink colour of this drink and I think it is favourite of any girl. Today we have a heavy breakfast and skipped lunch. Had homemade yogurt, rose syrup so thought of making this lassi. Use any good brand of rose syrup for this recipe or you could search a recipe of fresh rose syrup using fresh rose petals and dried rose petals. India has a variety of lassi to offer. They are generally served in earthen wares or tall glasses. Rose lassi, mango lassi and dryfruit lassi are few version of lassi which are my favourite. So let’s start making rose lassi.
