10 minutes
Tart ripe plums, yogurt, cardamom and a small crack of black pepper make a lassi that is creamy, bright and less predictable than mango.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe red or black plums, pitted and chopped
- 1½ cups chilled plain whole-milk yogurt
- ½ cup chilled water
- 2 tbsp honey or sugar, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom
- Pinch finely ground black pepper
- Pinch kosher salt
- 4–5 ice cubes (optional)
Directions
- Blend the plums, yogurt, water, honey, cardamom, black pepper and salt until completely smooth.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness.
- For a colder lassi, add the ice and blend briefly. For a completely smooth drink, strain out the pieces of plum skin.
- Pour into chilled glasses and finish with the faintest dusting of black pepper.
