Honey-Ginger Lassi image

This is different than a traditional Lassi in that it doesn't include yogurt. It is something like a thin milkshake with a bit of spice. Recipe is from Vegetarian Planet. There is also a variation to make it a warm drink.

Time 5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups whole milk or 2 1/2 cups low-fat milk
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger (heaping)
2 pinches freshly grated nutmeg
8 medium ice cubes or 4 large ice cubes
ice, for the glasses

Steps:

  • Combine all of the ingredients except the ice in a blender. Blend for 30 seconds to froth the milk.
  • Add the ice cubes, and blend until the ice is pulverized. Pour the lassi into large glasses filled with ice, and serve.
  • Variation: The same ingredients can make a soothing warm drink. Increase the milk to 3 cups, and heat it almost to a boil. Add the honey, ginger, and nutmeg, and stir well. Omit the ice. Serve in mugs.
