This peach lassi<\/strong> is inspired from the popular mango lassi. Just like the mango version, this yogurt-based drink<\/strong> is cooling and soothing on the stomach \u2013 a great way to cool off spicy foods. Though enjoyed mostly as a refreshing beverage at any time of the day, this peach lassi can be served as a light dessert too during the festive season. Peaches, being naturally relatively low in sugar, make this naturally sweetened drink particularly suitable for those who are on a low-sugar diet.<\/p>\n

At this time of the year when there isn\u2019t much variety of fresh fruits, preserved fruits can be quite handy. With the convenience of being shelf stable, canned fruits and especially cling peaches, which I love the texture of by the way, are part of my pantry staples. In fact, the canning process of peaches has been proven to increase key nutrients including Vitamin A, Vitamin C and folate. So, that\u2019s more reason to keep a small stash, not only for the colder months but all year round, just in case we are ever faced with a zombie apocalypse situation. Just kidding but you never know! Jokes aside, if you are concerned about the effects of canned food, many companies nowadays use BPA-free cans.<\/p>\n

California is where Canada gets most of its canned peaches. California cling peaches<\/a>are actually grown on family farms which adhere to the highest agricultural and safety standards, ensuring that the freshest peaches make it to shelf.<\/p>\n

A sip of this aromatic lassi will reveal subtle floral undertones of cardamom and rosewater with a heart of unique peach flavours and musky-honey base notes from the saffron. You may omit the saffron but I would really recommend it for the deep lingering richness of flavour that it imparts; something that you won\u2019t find anywhere else. A little bit of saffron goes a long way; it’s a very intense spice. Just a couple of threads of saffron is all you need.<\/p>\n

Not only does this peach lassi taste sublime, but it\u2019s also just the right drink to silence a rumbling stomach in between meals, while adding a handful of key nutrients and probiotics to your day. They also make a delectable drink for your guests either served as a light dessert, if everybody is too full for an elaborate dessert, or as part of a refreshing breakfast.<\/p>\n
