Departing from traditional fruit flavors, this lassi drink incorporates fresh spices to create a unique taste. Stepping away from exotic fruit flavors like mango, this lassi recipe relies on aromas such as cardamom, almond, pistachio and saffron to create a warm, spiced drink. The beverage begins with soaking the saffron in a cup of milk to bring out the flavors. Then the mixture is put into a blender along with the rest of the spices and nuts and a [dollop of yogurt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bulgaria-drinkable-yogurt-salt-lemon). The end mixture becomes yellow in color thanks to the saffron bright yellow hue. The drink is then enjoyed chilled and would be great to pair with contrasting spicy food. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Spiced Beverages:** Discover the trend of using fresh spices to create unique and flavorful beverages. - **Exotic Flavor Alternatives:** Explore the trend of stepping away from traditional fruit flavors and experimenting with new and interesting taste profiles. - **Aromatic Infusions:** Embrace the trend of infusing drinks with fragrant ingredients like saffron and cardamom for a heightened sensory experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage:** The beverage industry can capitalize on the trend of creating spiced drinks as a unique and innovative offering in a crowded market. - **Restaurant:** Restaurants can incorporate the trend of offering exotic flavor alternatives in their menu, providing customers with a refreshing and different dining experience. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can seize the opportunity to create aromatic infused drinks that enhance the sensory experience for guests, offering a memorable and luxurious stay. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creamy Indian Dairy Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parle-agro-1.md) - [Spicy Non-Alcoholic Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slice-of-spice.md) - [Indo-British Cocktail Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desi-daru.md) - [Gut-Improving Indian Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-dairy.md) - [Saffron-Flavored Soft Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saffron-mist.md) - [South Asian-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-kulfi.md) - [Dairy-Free Spiced Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-cha.md) - [Lightly Spiced Chai Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanilla-almond-spiced-chai-protein-smoothie.md) - [Effervescent Indian-Inspired Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indian-inspired-beverages.md)
