Celebrate Mango Season With These 3 Delicious Drinks

One of April's greatest highlights is the fact that mango season has finally arrived. The precious summer months are the only time of the year when the king of fruits can be savoured in desserts, pickles and even in a glass. To enjoy mango in new form, give these three delicious drinks a try at home and say cheers to everyone's favourite fruit.

Two cups chopped mango chunks

Half cup lemon juice

Three fourth cup sugar

Two cups cold water

Method:

In a saucepan, mix the sugar and cold water on a slow flame. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, remove from stove and leave aside to cool completely. Next, make a puree of the chopped mangoes in a blender and pour it into a pitcher. Then add the lemon juice to the pitcher and stir well. Next add the sugar syrup, few spoons at the time to adjust your level of sweetness. Finally, top off with ice cubes and serve.
