Ingredients

lassi:
  • 4 cups pineapple juice 1 liter
  • 2.5 cups coconut water not coconut milk, 600 ml
  • 5 tablespoons passion fruit juice from 1 big yellow passion fruit or about 4 small ones, or 3-4 tablespoons lime juice
  • ½ cup PLAIN yogurt
spices:
  • 1/2 teaspoon rose water can be omitted
  • ground cardamom very little, a small pinch of the spice
  • ground cinnamon very little, a small pinch of the spice
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
coconut syrup:
  • ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make the coconut syrup: add all the ingredients to a small pot, cook over medium-low heat for about 10 min, until reduced by about half. Strain through a sieve (I had about 5 Tbsp / 75 ml syrup left). The shredded coconut will no longer be needed.
  2. Juice the passion fruit: cut the passion fruit in half. Using a spoon, scoop the pulp out into a mesh strainer, use the back of a wooden spoon to press the pulp through a strainer, leaving the seeds behind. To make straining easier you can blend the seeds with the pulp in a food processor or in a blender and then strain through a sieve.
  3. Mix all the ingredients for pina colada lassi with coconut syrup and spices together.
  4. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • - Shredded coconut from coconut syrup can be used for decoration - you can sprinkle it on top of the drink.
  • - Another idea is to rim the glass with it as you would do with a margarita. First, you‘ll need to wet the lip of the glass with water, holding it upside down, and then coat the entire rim of the glass with shredded coconut.
  • - The drink will also be delicious without the yogurt.
  • - Spices are optional - rose water, cardamom, cinnamon, and vanilla extract can be omitted, you can not taste them clearly in the drink, but they make its taste more interesting and complex.
