Ingredients
- 4 very ripe mangoes
- 600 ml cold water
- 40 to 60 g sugar, depending on the fruit
- Juice of ½ lemon, optional
Method
- 01 Wash the mangoes, peel and remove the stone. Cut the flesh into pieces.
- 02 Blend with the water until smooth.
- 03 Taste: sweeten if needed, add lemon to brighten.
- 04 Strain for a smoother juice, or keep the pulp if you prefer.
- 05 Serve very cold, with ice.
Mango juice follows the mango season: when fruit is fully ripe, little sugar is needed. Out of season, frozen pulp remains an honest base.
