The 15 best traditional Indian drinks you need to try (Part 1)

Mango Lassi

Mango is a popular ingredient used in a variety of sweet dishes – and, of course – juices.

However, this traditional Indian drink is likely a little different to what you are used to drinking from the carton. Mango Lassi combines sweet yoghurt, milk, mango, a touch of sugar, and some cardamom into an irresistible blend.

Assam Tea

Brits aren’t the only ones who love tea, and, in fact, many of our supermarket favourites are likely grown in India.

Assam Tea can be enjoyed to your taste – whether that’s black or extra milky – and makes the perfect addition to any meal. What’s more?

The flavourful leaves boast many health benefits, boosting your immunity to disease, and promoting heart and brain health. That means you can enjoy many a “warm cuppa” whilst knowing you are taking care of your body.

Sol Kadhi

How do you feel about milkshakes? What if we told you it was one that’s a blend of coconut milk, curry leaves, and a mix of other spices?

While your initial perceptions might not be extremely positive, if you are feeling a little daring – Sol Kadhi is a creamy and delightful Indian drink that is perfect for caring for your digestive system and extremely cooling down after a hot curry.

Masala Chai

This Indian drinks list wouldn’t be complete without one of the most popular options available in the UK, one in many of our own households…  Masala Chai.

Carefully brewed from a mix of leaves and gentle spices, there’s a reason that this tea is enjoyed by many. It’s simply delicious, and a classic drink that can be enjoyed at any time of the day (or night – if you’re up late and need a boost).

Namkeen Lassi

Four ingredients.

That’s all it takes to make Namkeen Lassi, which means you could be moments away from one of the best Indian drinks out there.

Combine yoghurt, water, salt, and roasted cumin powder, whisk until it’s fluffy, and then top it off with ice.

You won’t regret it.
