Notes
- You can use a dairy-free alternative, like coconut milk or almond milk, for a vegan version of Rose Lassi.
- Adjust the amount of rosewater based on your personal taste. Rosewater can be quite potent, so a little goes a long way.
- For extra creaminess, you can add a spoonful of cream or a bit of condensed milk.
- If you prefer a more tangy flavor, use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt.
- You can also add a pinch of cardamom or a few saffron strands for a twist on the flavor.
