A creamy, lightly tangy matcha lassi with yogurt, cardamom, and optional mango for a cooling afternoon drink.
Matcha Lassi Recipe
This matcha lassi is cooling, creamy, and slightly tangy, ideal for warm afternoons when you want gentle energy without a heavy coffee feel.
Why matcha works in a lassi base
Yogurt softens matcha bitterness and adds body, so you can use a moderate dose without harshness.
If you want another cooling option, try matcha cold foam.
Tips for best flavour
