Expert Tips
I used alphonso mangoes and recommend using the same as it gives the best taste for this drink. If you don’t get alphonso then use any fiber less juicy mangoes. After straining if its too thick add little more water but only if needed. Adjust according to the consistency. You can even add sugar while cooking the mangoes itself. But amma says making sugar increases shelf life so tried it this way though it got over in a day so couldn’t test it. Lemon juice acts as a natural preservative but add very little. You can alternatively pressure cook for 3 whistles then proceed with the remaining steps too.
Serving & Storage
Chill the drink and serve it fresh. I would not suggest adding ice cubes as it may thin down the drink. This keeps well in room temperature only for 6-hours maximum and in fridge for a week to 10 days.
