Fresh and zingy, this sparkling mango lemonade with hints of mint will have you looking forward to the hotter days. Summer, bring it on!!
You will need:
Mango - 1, large
Lemon - 4 large, juiced
Mint - ¼ - ½ cup, lightly packed (use as per your preference, personally I like more mint)
Sugar - ⅔ cup
Water - 2 cups
Club soda - 6 cups, chilled
Ice - to serve
How to:
Wash, peel and roughly chop the mango flesh.
Blend together the mango, lemon juice, mint leaves, sugar and 2 cups of water till smooth.
Taste and add more sugar if needed. Since we will be adding more water or soda to the lemonade, make sure this mixture is sweeter than you normally like.
Strain to remove fibers and pour into a large pitcher. At this point, you can refrigerate this concentrate till needed.
To serve, add ice cubes to a large glass. Fill ⅓rd of the glass with the mango lemonade concentrate and top with club soda. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve chilled.
Notes:
1. If you do not want a sparkling or fizzy lemonade, serve it with cold water instead of club soda. 2. Feel free to omit the mint leaves if you do not like it or don't have any on hand.
