Think of the combination of mango juice and lemonade as something much better than either one by itself. It is the type of drink that helps everyone deal with hot weather since it is fruity, bright, and refreshing. A basic syrup is made from mango pulp, lemon juice, and sugar water. It is then refrigerated and mixed with cold water anytime you want a drink. This kind of drink feels like something nice after a lazy afternoon. If you give it a try, you'll probably have a jar of the syrup in your fridge all year.
Pre-prep - Start with the mangoes. You'll need around 2 cups of ripe ones, peeled, chopped, and ready to mix. Take out your blender, a small saucepan for the syrup, and a clean jug or bottle for storing the final product. Also, roll and juice a few lemons to make everything easily available when needed. This process is made easier with a simple setup.
Making the syrup - Blend the mangos till smooth and thick. No lumps. Put it aside. Mix ¾ cup sugar and ¾ cup water in a saucepan. Warm it over low to medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture begins to boil. Turn off the heat and immediately add the lemon juice. Now, mix in the mango puree until everything is combined, it should be golden, glossy, and smell great. Pour this into a container and refrigerate. That's your homemade mango lemonade syrup, ready for use.
Serving the lemonade - When ready to serve, fill a large glass with ice cubes. Pour in 3 to 4 teaspoons of chilled mango syrup. More if you like it stronger; less if you want it lighter. Add cold water, stir thoroughly, and that's all. No fuss, no blender—just a cold, delicious drink in seconds. Perfect for hot afternoons or unexpected guests.
