Mango Lemonade

Cool and refreshing drink of mint and mangoes

As the Summers are still here so mangoes are still in season. We all have our own favorite ways to enjoy this king of fruits,some just slice the fruit and enjoy it, some make desserts, pudding, pickles and so many different and creative recipes with mangoes are tried every season.My family favorite dessert  is - Home made Mango kulfi

Today I am sharing the quick and so refreshing mango mint lemonade drink, which have sweet and tangy flavours of mint , lemon and mangoes. Lemon and mint not only give flavour and taste to the drink but also balance the heat and sweetness of mangoes.I have added aerated water but you can also make it with chilled water.
