Attempt #45: Mango cooler

Alrighte! After attempting 3 different kind of beverages, I am getting the knack of it and it is kind of refreshingly fun! J

Here’s another creative way to make mango cooler. Try it!

The result:

 

Awesome way to use up those overripe mangoes. The lime added a tangy taste to the combination while the mint leaves provided that freshness that lingers in your mouth after the drink.

 Ingredients

• 2 large mangoes, as ripe as possible
• 150 ml semi-skimmed milk
• zest and juice of 1 lime
• 1 handful ice cubes
• 1 handful fresh mint leaves, plus extra to serve
• brown sugar or honey, to taste

Method

Remove the skin and cut the juicy flesh off the mangoes. Place the fruit in a blender or food processor, along with any juice left on the chopping board. Add the milk, lime juice and zest, ice and mint leaves and give it all a good whiz until smooth. Taste, and if you've got a sweet tooth, add a sprinkling of brown sugar or honey and give it another quick whiz. Chill in the fridge before serving, then garnish with a few mint leaves.
