Ingredients
- 1 cup lemon juice (from 5–6 medium lemons)
- 1 cup mango pulp (homemade or store bought)
- 1/2 cup honey (or sugar syrup)
- 5 cups chilled water
- 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves
- Ice for serving
- 1 lemon sliced (optional for garnishing)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large glass pitcher or jar, pour 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 cup of mango pulp, and 1/2 cup honey. Stir thoroughly until the honey is completely dissolved, ensuring an even sweetness throughout the lemonade.
- Add Water and Mint: Pour in 5 cups of chilled water into the mixture, then add 2 tablespoons of fresh mint leaves. Stir gently to incorporate the mint flavor and then refrigerate the pitcher for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the drink to chill.
- Serve: When ready to serve, fill serving glasses with ice cubes. Pour the chilled mango lemonade over the ice, garnish each glass with a slice of lemon if desired, and serve immediately for a refreshing experience.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing honey or sugar syrup according to taste.
- For a stronger mint flavor, lightly bruise the mint leaves before adding them.
- Use ripe mangoes for the best natural sweetness and flavor in the pulp.
- This lemonade can be prepped in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Optionally, blend the mixture for a smoother texture before refrigerating.
