Iced Mango Lassi

A chilled, creamy blend of ripe mangoes, yogurt, and a hint of cardamom — this iced mango lassi is the perfect way to cool down and enjoy the tropical sweetness of summer.

Ingredients (Serves 2–3):

• 1 cup ripe mango (fresh or frozen, diced)

• 1 cup plain yogurt (preferably full-fat)

• ½ cup cold milk

• 2–3 tablespoons sugar or honey (adjust to taste)

• ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)

• 1 cup ice cubes

• Fresh mint or mango slices, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Blend:
   In a blender, combine mango, yogurt, milk, sugar (or honey), and cardamom. Add ice and blend until smooth and frothy.

2. Taste and Adjust:
   Taste for sweetness and consistency. Add more milk for a thinner lassi, or more mango for a thicker one.

3. Serve Cold:
   Pour into chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh mint or mango slices if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:

• Use Alphonso or Ataulfo mangoes for the best flavor and color.

• If using canned mango pulp, reduce added sugar.

• Cardamom adds a fragrant, authentic touch — but you can skip it for a simpler flavor.
