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.
