- Serve the lassi with more ice cubes, or add some watermelon chunks.
- You can garnish it with mint leaves or edible rose petals.
Substitute The Rose Syrup
- If you do not have rose syrup, you can add sugar and 2-3 teaspoon of rose water. Or, instead of rose water, add a few drops of rose essence or extract for the fresh rose flavor.
- Instead of rose syrup or sugar, you can also add agave, honey, or maple syrup.
- If you do not use rose syrup, please note that the color of the smoothie will be lighter.
Notes
- For the thicker lassi consistency, you can use Greek yogurt instead of plain.
- If you like your smoothie of slushy consistency, freeze watermelon chunks before using them for the smoothie.
- Add rose syrup as per your sweetness preference.
- If you want to skip rose syrup or additional sugar, just add few drops of rose essence for the flavor. Or add 2-3 teaspoon of rosewater.
- If you do not want to add ice cubes, let the watermelon lassi chill in the fridge and then serve.
