Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use pomegranate juice instead of seeds?
For the best texture and flavor, fresh pomegranate seeds are recommended. Using juice may make the drink too liquidy and the vibrant color and bursts of flavor from the seeds will be missing. Seeds can be pricey but are worth it.
My yogurt split while mixing, what went wrong?
Splitting can happen if the yogurt gets overworked or if the temperature changes suddenly. The key is gently folding ingredients together at room temperature. Also, full-fat yogurt tends to split less than low-fat versions.
How long does pomegranate lassi stay fresh?
It’s best consumed right away while icy cold. The yogurt may start separating or going sour after a few hours in the fridge. If making ahead, store the prepared lassi base and add ice just before serving.
Can I make it vegan/dairy-free?
Sure. Use a plain, unsweetened non-dairy yogurt like coconut, almond or soy. You may need to adjust the sweetener to taste. The texture won’t be quite as rich, but still refreshingly delicious.
Is this kid-friendly? My little one loves pomegranates.
Surely. With simple, wholesome ingredients, it’s a fun way to get kids enjoying yogurt and fruit. Just be mindful of the pomegranate seeds as a potential choking hazard for very young children.
