Instructions

"This drink is made with simple, seasonal ingredients and prepared in a way that prioritizes balance over precision. "

Traditionally, raw mangoes are boiled or roasted until soft, then peeled and pulped. The pulp is blended with sugar or jaggery, black salt, and roasted cumin to form a concentrated base. This concentrate is diluted with cold water when served — adjusted by taste, not measurements — and often finished with fresh mint.
