Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon chai spice blend
- Ice cubes, as needed
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of plain yogurt, 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of chai spice blend, and ice cubes.
- In a blender, add the plain yogurt. This will serve as the creamy base of your lassi.
- Next, add the pumpkin puree to the blender. This will provide a rich flavor and vibrant color to your drink.
- Pour in the milk. This will help to achieve a smooth and drinkable consistency.
- Add the honey to the mixture for sweetness. You can adjust the amount based on your preference.
- Sprinkle in the chai spice blend. This will infuse the lassi with warm, aromatic flavors typical of chai.
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Once blended, taste the lassi and adjust sweetness or spice level if necessary by adding more honey or chai spice.
- If you prefer a chilled drink, add ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the ice is crushed and incorporated.
- Pour the chai spiced pumpkin lassi into glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, you can garnish with a sprinkle of additional chai spice on top for presentation.
Tips
- Use full-fat yogurt for a creamier, more indulgent texture
- Fresh chai spice blend will provide more vibrant flavors compared to pre-packaged mixes
- Adjust honey to taste - some prefer a more subtle sweetness
- For an extra cold drink, freeze your glasses before serving
- Experiment with different milk types like almond or coconut for unique variations
- If you want a thicker lassi, reduce the milk quantity slightly
- Always blend on high speed to ensure a smooth, well-incorporated drink
- Garnish with a light dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg for added visual appeal and flavor complexity
