Sweet Saffron Lassi Recipe

I simply LOVE lassi's ~ always have. I remember vividly the first time I went to India discovering an ENTIRE lassi street stall in Rishikesh.. oh the flavours!

Interestingly, did you know that there's a fundamental difference between yoghurt and drinking a lassi in Ayurveda? Yoghurt on its own has the qualities of sweet, sour and is heating (ushna virya) with sour after-taste (vipaka).⁠
⁠
Yoghurt will increase inflammation and should ideally not be consumed during the Spring, Summer or Autumn Seasons, however LASSI will break down inflammation and is great for oedema.⁠
