Ingredients
- 4-5 raw mangoes (500 gms)
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/3 cup sugar (less sweet)/ 1/2 cup sugar (more sweet)
- 1 tsp roasted and ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp black salt
- 1/2 tsp salt
Steps
- Wash the raw mangoes, keep them in a poly bag/polythene and microwave for about 6 minutes (or till tender); one can boil them in a pressure cooker as well
- Once they have cooled down, peel off the skin and scoop out the pulp
- Tear and wash the mint leaves
- In a mixer/blender, mix all the ingredients adding about 1/2 cup water to obtain a thick paste; you can refrigerate the mixture and use it for up to 3-5 days
- To prepare the drink, dilute 6-8 tsp of the paste in cold water (on the rocks!) and serve chilled – enjoy this refreshing drink on a sizzling summer afternoon!
