There are various kinds of lassis made. For example salted lassi, sweet lassi, flavored lassi like rose flavor lassi, dryfruit lassi, mango lassi, strawberry lassi, chocolate lassi etc. You could make any lassi of your choice. I have made chocolate lassi which I loved a lot being a chocoholic you could also try making at home. 

For now make saffron lassi. Saffron is known as kesar in India. I have added some cashews, almonds, saffron soaked in milk and cardamom powder. If you aren’t fond of sugar use honey instead.

In North India lassis are served in tall glasses with makhan (butter) floating over top. It’s quite thick and filling. But when you make home you have the option to make it thicker Or thinner by adding some water Or milk.
