Notes

Mangoes - Here in the USA, I use champagne mangoes (or Ataulfo mangoes) for best results.  
Lemon - The lemon juice helps prevent oxidation and discoloration of the mango, adds flavor to the juice, and acts as a natural preservative.
Chaat Masala - This is a popular Pakistani and Indian spice blend made with cumin, amchur, black salt, and other spices. A popular condiment, it adds flavor to drinks and savory snacks.
Simple Syrup - I make a concentrated simple syrup and add it to my mango pulp. Sugar is also a natural preservative and, along with the lemon juice, helps prolong the freezer life of this juice concentrate. This amount of sugar can be adjusted in the final juice as needed.
Water - The 8 cups of water are suggested using the entire quantity of mangoes and simple syrup listed above. The juice can be as concentrated or diluted as you need.
Using the concentrate - I use ½ cup of concentrate with ½ teaspoon of chaat masala, ⅓ cup water, and ice as needed per glass of mango juice. You can use this formula to prepare a larger batch.
