Mango And Mint Milk Shake

 

 

How about we celebrate the heat with some delicious mango and mint milk shake?

Recipe:

2 cups fresh mango chunks
1½ cup chilled milk
12-15 fresh mint leaves
4 tablespoons sugar, or according to taste

Blend together all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Serve in tall glasses, and garnish with mint leaves.

Notes:

You can store the milk shake in your refrigerator for upto a day.

When choosing mangoes, pick those that yield slightly to gentle pressure and do not have blemishes on the skin. Or just smell them; ripe mangoes have a fragrant aroma. Also keep in mind that fibre free mangoes such as Alphonso are the best to eat.

You can refrigerate ripe mangoes in plastic bags for 3-4 days if you do not want to use them immediately. However, if you want them to ripen just a bit more, then keep them in brown paper bags in a warm place.

Most importantly, before using mangoes, wash them thoroughly. Infact, an even better idea would be to leave them in slightly salted warm water for half to one hour, rinse them and then peel the skin off before eating.
