Ingredients
Simple Syrup (optional)
- 2 cups water
- ½ cup sugar
- Mint leaves
Mango Juice
- 2 big mangos (about 3-4 cups of mango flesh)
- 1 cup water
- Ice cubes (optional)
- Mint leaves to garnish (optional)
Instructions
Simple Syrup
- Combine the water, sugar, and mint leaves in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let syrup steep for about 30 minutes.
Mango Juice
- Slice the sides along the mango seed. Cut the flesh in a grid-like pattern without going through the mango skin. Use a large spoon to detach the flesh from the skin and scoop the cubes out.
- Transfer the mango flesh and water to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. You can add more water if preferred until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the mango juice into a jar, followed by the optional sugar syrup. Add as much or as little sugar syrup as you prefer since this is purely optional. Stir to combine.
- Serve with ice cubes and garnish with mint leaves.
Notes
- With this mango juice recipe, consistency is totally up to you. Add more water if you would like a thinner juice.
- If you choose to add sugar syrup, do so a little at a time and taste the juice as you go until you reach your desired sweetness level. You can always add more sugar syrup if it isn't sweet enough, but it will be hard to take it out if you add too much.
- Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
