Rose lassi drink
Rose Lassi or Gulab lassi is the rose flavored Indian yogurt drink made with plain yogurt, rose syrup, Gulkand (Rose petals preserve), and sweetener. It is a perfect summer drink and helps in cooling the body.
Ingredients
Yogurt - Use plain unflavored yogurt.
Milk - Use full cream milk for a creamier lassi.
Water - It helps to blend the lassi and bring them to the perfect consistency.
Rose Syrup - You can use any store-bought rose syrup. I am using rooh afza and it was perfect.
Sweetener - Rose syrup is already sweet and hence add the required sugar only if needed.
Gulkand - It is the rose petals jam. It helps in cooling the body. So I prefer adding them when I prepare rose lassi during summer.
Garnish - Use any garnish as you prefer. You can add in saffron, rose petals, or any nuts as you prefer.
