The MAX AC Channel #149: Mango Lassi

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of the Max AC Channel. With the weather heating up once again, I thought we could spend some time highlighting another batch of ice-cold drinks to cool off with on a hot summer day. So, for the next couple of months, we will be taking a look at 9 more drink recipes that will surely be a hit at your next summer gathering. For this month, we will be doing our third round of Juicy June, where we will be focusing on 5 different drinks that use fruit juices in their recipes. For this episode, we will be making some Mango Lassi.

In the comments below, let me know how it went if you decide to make it and let me know if there’s anything you want to make next. Like the video, share it with your friends and family, and subscribe to this channel for more episodes of the MAX AC Channel.

And remember, if you want to stay cool in the kitchen, turn your AC to the max and watch the MAX AC Channel.

MANGO LASSI (1-2 Servings)
Ingredients:
- 1-2 ripe mangoes -or- ~1 cup frozen pre-chopped mango or mango pulp
- 1/2 cup your favorite yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk, water, and/or rose water
- 2-4 tsp honey or sugar (optional)
- Some ground cardamom (optional)
- Some ice (optional)
- Some garnish:
- Some chopped nuts (optional)
- Some mint (optional)
- Some saffron strands (optional)
- Some whipped cream (optional)

Instructions:
1. First, we’ll prepare the fruit, so if you’re using fresh mangoes, peel and cube these. I typically like to do this by slicing the mango sides away from the pit. And then, for each side, score the mango in a crosswise pattern, invert the mango, and then cut or scoop out the pieces. Then, for the pit piece, you can extract a little extra mango from around the pit by cutting around it. Then, you may use this mango immediately, but if you like your lassi thicker, you can place your pieces into a freezer bag and put it in the freezer for a few hours before using.
2. Then, when you’re ready to make your lassi, in a blender, add in your mango, yogurt, milk and/or water, honey or sugar, ground cardamom, and some ice (if using) and well, blend. If you don’t want to use a blender, mash up your mango pieces into a pulp if it’s not already. Then, in a bowl, add in your yogurt, milk and/or water, honey or sugar, and ground cardamom and whisk this until the yogurt is nice and whipped. Then, mix in your mango pulp until everything is combined evenly.
3. Once your lassi is mixed together, you may serve it immediately or place it in the fridge for a couple of hours to chill it some more. But once you’re ready to serve it, pour your lassi into a serving glass, add your garnishes as desired, and with that, your Mango Lassi is ready to drink.
