Refreshing Mango Lassi with Saffron
At the peak of the mango season in the summer, one of the best ways to enjoy this sweet fruit is by making a mango lassi with saffron. Not only is this smooth-like drink delicious, filling, and healthy, it will also help you cool down in the hot summer heat.
In case you haven’t heard of a “Lassi” before, it originates from the Indian subcontinent and refers to any yogurt-based drink. In traditional mango lassi recipes, only yogurt is used. But of course, at Zarlux Saffron no recipe is complete without a dash of saffron and a little spice! So, we have added a couple of extra but very accessible ingredients such as milk, which helps to bloom the saffron, and aromatic cardamom.
