Sweet Lassi is an another cooling and refreshing drink to have in the summer. My grandma used to give me thick curd with a tsp of sugar and I just enjoyed in my childhood days. I still remember that, very first time I had sweet lassi in Shanthi Sagar restaurant, Trichy with my mom. I just loved it. But I never had it often and only in summer I used to have in Coimbatore. When I surfed about this recipe, I came to know that this is a traditional summer drink in Punjab. There are three versions of lassi that is sweet, salted and masala. During summer, this lassi is a very good drink and instead stored juice this is very healthy for kids.
INGREDIENTS:
Chilled thick curd - 1 cup
Chilled milk - 1/4 cup
Sugar - 3 tsp
Cardamom powder - a pinch
Rose water - 1 tsp

You can use rose essence instead rose water. Use only 1/4 tsp of it. Either rose water or essence can be used.
Crushed or cubed ice cubes can be used. I used refrigerated milk and curd hence I did not add ice.
