1tspWild Bloom Botanicals rose powder
1/4tsporganic ground cardamom
dried organic rose petals and chopped organic pistachio to garnish

Notes
Lassi is best served at room temperature or warm and combined with digestive spices.
Blending infuses the lassi with fiery energy and enhances its digestive power.
Avoid taking with fruit as it will likely result in gas.
Since it is cooling, it is best to avoid having lassi after sunset.
Lassi is a nice drink to enjoy on occasion to bring in beneficial bacteria. Enjoy a half cup with your midday meal (when agni is strongest) to get the most benefit. Be sure to exercise moderation.
To calm vata or kapha states, try adding black pepper and honey. To calm pitta, use maple syrup or raw local honey as a sweetener and add fennel, coriander or mint.
