Place the peeled chopped ginger and shredded mint leaves into a small blender or mortar. Add 1 tablespoon of the cold water and pulverize until a coarse paste forms (or muddle vigorously in the mortar). This releases fresh oils without over-pureeing the mint.

If using a blender, scrape the paste into a bowl and set aside. If using mortar, transfer the paste to the lassi pitcher.

Make Lassi

In a high-speed blender combine the whole-milk yogurt, remaining cold water (about 1 cup), granulated sugar, honey, ground cardamom, ground cinnamon and fine sea salt. Add the ginger-mint paste to the blender.

Secure lid and blend on medium-high 30–45 seconds until smooth and creamy. Scrape down sides and taste; if the lassi is too thick, add up to 1/4 cup milk and blend another 10 seconds to reach desired drinking consistency.

Add ice cubes to the blender and pulse 3–4 times until crushed ice is incorporated and the lassi is chilled and slightly frothy.

Add CBD & Finish

Remove blender lid and allow mixture to settle a few seconds. Add the CBD oil directly to the blended lassi. Stir gently with a spoon for 10–15 seconds to evenly distribute oil (do not overheat or re-blend vigorously once CBD is added).

Taste and adjust sweetness, spice, or salt as desired. If you prefer stronger mint, stir in an additional 1 teaspoon of finely shredded mint.

Serve

Pour the lassi into 4 chilled glasses (serves 4). Garnish each with a mint sprig and a very light dusting (a pinch) of grated nutmeg or ground nutmeg.

Note CBD dosing: the recipe lists 30 mg CBD total. If you want a different dose per serving, adjust the total CBD oil added before dividing. Ensure you follow product instructions and local regulations.
