Soothing Green Mango & Mint Drink


Please excuse me if I get carried away with too many mango posts.
I should hardly be blamed for I live in Thailand and at this time of the year everytime one looks around all they see is mangoes! Sweet green mangoes, Sour green mangoes, Ripe yellow mangoes...so many varieties of mangoes..I love them!!

The following recipe is for a drink that is very cooling especially in the summers.
I am happy that my children prefer it over the fizzy bottled stuff.


2 Green Sour Mangoes
1/2 to 1 cup of fresh mint leaves
Salt or Black rock salt powder (according to taste)
Sugar (according to taste)
1 tsp roasted cumin seed powder
4 cups Cold Water or more
Ice Cubes

1) Boil Mangoes till tender.
2) Once cooled, peel them and scrape out all the pulp.
3) Blend the Mango pulp, mint leaves, Sugar and Salt and pass the mixture though a strainer.
4) Dilute the mango mixture with cold water, add cumin powder and adjust salt and sugar.
5) Pour into glasses and top with ice cubes before serving.

Note: You can always freeze the blended mango mixture in small pouches and dilute as required!
