Coffee Lassi

Lassi is a popular and traditional yogurt-based drink in India. It is done blending yogurt with water n spices or sugar or honey. Lassi is a perfect thirst quencher or a refreshing drink which can easily  be tried at home. This happened a year back. I added a tsp of coffee powder to an yogurt bowl, instead of  milk bowl,accidentally. I was left with noother choice but to taste it or  waste it. Surprisingly, it tasted  awesome after I added few tsp sugar.  I saw the Original recipe of  'Coffee Lassi' on the net, which is done with Sugar syrup and Espresso. U need 6-8 mins and this serves 2-3 nos.Try this simple and tasty Coffee Lassi at home. U can try 'Choco Lassi' adding few tsp of Hershey's Choco Syrup, Dates Lassi (Using Dates Syrup), Cornflakes Lassi, 'Oats Lassi' (or with Oats,buttermilk, cumin n grated ginger)...etc. Enjoy it anytime!. Have a great week-end!.
