Ingredients

Ripe Mangoes – I prefer to use Alphonso mangoes or Kesar mangoes as they are bright orange, sweet, less fibrous, and juicy. You can use any ripe and juicy mango of your choice, but make sure they are bright orange in color, sweet, and less fibrous.
Raw Mangoes – The addition of raw mangoes adds a slight tanginess to the drink.
Sugar – You will need white granulated sugar. You can adjust it according to your taste.
Citric Acid – It gives a nice tang to the drink. If citric acid is not available, you can replace it with lime juice or lemon juice.
You will also need water and salt.

Pro Tips By Neha
You can adjust the quantity of sugar depending on the sweetness of the mangoes and your taste preference. Add more sugar if the mangoes are not sweet enough or you like a sweeter drink.
Never cook the mangoes and sugar together. If cooked together, the sugar will hamper the mangoes from softening.
Serving Suggestions
Sip on it on a hot summer day or serve it for your parties, get-together, or barbecue parties.
You can also use it to make mocktails, cocktails, smoothies, or other refreshing summer drinks.
Storage Suggestions
Homemade Frooti Mango Drink can be stored in an airtight glass container for about a week in the refrigerator.
