Chai, lassi and drink recipes

Drinks are a daily ritual here. Doodh patti chai is boiled with plenty of milk, masala chai adds ginger and cardamom, karak chai is the strong, sweet Gulf cousin, and the layered cup of Sylhet shows how far a tea tradition can go. Cooling drinks such as lassi, borhani, laban and lemon sharbat carry the household through summer.

These recipes are short and forgiving, which makes them a good starting point if you are new to the app. The ingredient amounts are simple to scale for a family or a few guests, and the timers help with the steps that matter, like steeping and chilling.

This collection has 16 dishes, including Ramadan Vimto, Masala Chai, Lassi. A typical recipe takes about 15 minutes, and each one comes with step-by-step instructions and cooking timers.
