Spiked & Spiced: White Rose Lassi

by Jerry James Stone Leave a Comment

The inspiration for this cocktail comes from those delicious lassis available at Indian restaurants and the middle eastern flavor profile I grew up on; I’m Armenian. I wanted a boozy yogurt drink that was as comfortable next to my mom’s homemade pilaf as it is a curry. Also, I haven’t made many yogurt-based cocktails and I am thinking maybe I need to do that more.

White Rose teaNumi White Rose tea was a great match for this drink because it is both sweet and fragrant. Those flowery notes blend well with the vanilla and spice. I also chose it because of how rosewater is used in Indian cooking.

As a side note, leave out the booze and add more yogurt, some tropical fruit, like mango or a banana, and this makes a pretty tasty smoothie too.

Cheers!

🌱 Why do grades of tea matter? The larger the leaf, the greater its surface area for steeping and the more complex the infusion. Numi uses only hand-plucked, fuller leaf quality tea for a pure taste that balances depth and nuance. Many bagged teas are machine-picked and use low-quality fannings and dust. Smaller grades release tannins more quickly, leading to a dark, bitter-tasting cup. Wake up with fuller leaf teas that steep slowly and evenly, delivering a smooth, rich flavor. When you drink our tea, you’ll immediately taste the difference. ☕️ Find our Breakfast Blend and over 40 delicious organic blends on our Amazon store. Link in bio.
