Mango Lemonade
Hot summer days are here Mango Lemonade is a sweet and tangy
drink recipe to cool you down and help getting hydrated. This is a perfect
spring or summer refresher which can be prepared ahead and save in a bottle and
whenever you need just mix water to taste and a few ice cubes and you have a
nice cold tasty refreshing drink ready!
For this you need ripe and sweet mangoes and freshly
squeezed lemon juice and all other things are available at every household. I
would say just use the nicely ripen mangoes neither overly ripened nor raw.
Lemons or lime can also be used just fresh ones. With the availability of mango
and lemons these days, it’s easy to enjoy this beverage any time.
