Mango lassi is the coldest recipe on this blog: ripe mango, whole-milk yogurt, ice, cardamom — nothing in it ever sees heat. That makes the blender the entire technique, and the blender is where the dose goes. There's no fryer, no oven, no simmer to dodge. The dose goes straight into the blend — dosed coconut oil streamed in while the blades run, emulsified into the yogurt fat, carrying the entire 74 milligrams across five glasses. The blender is the dosing step, the pitcher is the unit, and every glass pours the same.
🔥 The Science: The Blender Is the Dosing Step
- Nothing in a lassi ever sees heat. Cold mango, cold yogurt, ice — the warmest thing in this recipe is the coconut oil, and it goes in barely melted. With no heat anywhere, there's no degradation to dodge; the only job is even distribution.
- The blender emulsifies the dose. Dosed coconut oil streamed into a running blender disperses into microscopic droplets through the yogurt's milk fat. Thirty seconds of blending locks the dose into the emulsion — no hot spots, no settling, same milligrams in every pour.
- Yogurt fat is the absorption ally. Whole-milk yogurt is already a fat-rich carrier — cannabinoids bind to the milk fat on contact. The lassi doesn't just carry the dose; it's built out of carrier.
- The pitcher is the unit. Five glasses from one pitcher, divided evenly, one number each. The pour does the portioning for you.
🥥 The Infusion: Dosed Coconut Oil for the Lassi
A neutral coconut oil that disappears into mango lassi — the mango and cardamom do all the talking:
- Decarb: 7g ground flower, sealed mason jar, 240°F (115°C) for 40 minutes. Cool before opening.
- Method: Warm 1 cup (240ml) coconut oil to 160–180°F until fully liquid. Add the decarbed flower, hold low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Strain through cheesecloth, squeeze gently, jar it.
- Dosing math: 7g at 20% THC = 7000mg × 0.20 = 1400mg THCA × 0.877 = ~1228mg THC × 0.75 efficiency ≈ ~921mg per ~225ml → ~4.1mg per ml.
- Yield: ~225ml. Storage: Cool dark place 4 weeks, fridge 8 weeks. Label: strain, date, mg/ml.
🥭 The Recipe: Mango Lassi (5 glasses)
No heat exists in this recipe — the dose goes straight into the blend:
Lassi base:
- 2 cups ripe mango chunks (about 2 large mangoes) + 1½ cups whole-milk yogurt + ½ cup milk
- 2 tbsp sugar or honey + ¼ tsp ground cardamom + 1 cup ice
The dosing step:
- 18ml dosed coconut oil, melted and warm (not hot) — ~74mg THC for the whole batch
Method:
- Blend the base: Mango, yogurt, milk, sugar, cardamom, and ice — blend until completely smooth and thick. Taste and adjust sweetness. There is no no-dose zone here because there is no heat — but the oil still goes in last, so the emulsion forms around it.
- The dosing step: With the blender running on low, stream in the 18ml warm dosed oil, then blend on high for 30 seconds to fully emulsify. Divide evenly among 5 glasses (about 10oz each) — the blender is the entire dose, and the pour is the unit.
- Serve cold: A pinch of crushed pistachios and a mint sprig on top if you're feeling fancy. Tell your table the per-glass number before the first sip.
📐 Dosing Math
- Dosed oil in the lassi: 18ml × 4.1mg/ml ≈ ~74mg THC across the whole batch
- Pitcher yields 5 glasses → ~15mg THC per glass
- Half a glass → ~8mg — where most guests should start
- Tell your table the per-glass number before pouring. The pitcher gets labeled; the blender gets rinsed, not dosed twice.
🧬 Terpene Pairing
- Primary terpenes: Myrcene (the ripe mango — mangoes are famously myrcene-rich, and this lassi is built on it) + limonene (the bright fruit lift) + linalool (the cardamom florals — the soft top note)
- How to use it: Mango lassi is tropical fruit, cream, and warm spice — choose a strain with fruity, myrcene-forward character that sits inside the mango instead of fighting it. The mango is already doing terpene work; the strain just has to agree. (Yes, the old mango-myrcene synergy talk — enjoy it.)
- What to avoid: Heavy diesel, skunk, or sharp pine — they read as wrong against mango and yogurt the way exhaust smells in a juice bar. Fruity, soft, creamy.
🌱 Strain Suggestions
- Blue Dream (Hybrid, ~20% THC) — Myrcene, pinene. Berry-sweet calm that sits under the mango without a ripple.
- Mango Kush (Hybrid, ~18% THC) — Myrcene, caryophyllene. Mango-funk that melts into the lassi like it was designed for it.
- Durban Poison (Sativa, ~20% THC) — Terpinolene, myrcene. Sweet-anise lift that rides the cardamom.
📏 Dosage
- Per glass: ~15mg THC — a full, real serving; respect it
- Half glass: ~8mg — the sane starting point
- Onset: 30–60 minutes — a cold liquid moves fast; the yogurt fat and coconut oil make an efficient carrier
- The blender rule: The oil goes in with the blender running, always — never dumped in and stirred. Emulsify for the full 30 seconds, pour evenly, and don't eyeball the glasses. Anyone who wants undosed lassi gets poured before the dosed oil goes in.
Start with one serving. Wait 90 minutes before even thinking about a second. For adults 21+ only. Consume responsibly and in accordance with local laws.
🥭 Chef Smoke's Blender Rule: "No oven, no fryer, no stove — just a blade spinning at twenty thousand RPM. That's the whole technique, and it's also the whole dosing step. Stream the oil in slow, blend it hard, pour it even. Five glasses, one pitcher, one number each. The coldest recipe on this blog carries its dose the simplest way there is: blended in, locked in, poured out. Respect the pour."
