Ingredients

Mango Syrup

• 650–800 g ripe mango, roughly chopped

• ⅓ cup (65–70 g) white sugar

• 1 cup (240 ml) water

• ⅛ tsp fine sea salt

• 1 strip lime zest (green part only)

• ¼ tsp fresh ginger, finely grated (added off heat)

Mango Lemonade

• 120–180 ml mango syrup (from above)

• Juice of 5–6 medium lemons (about 240–300 ml)

• 1–2 Tbsp fresh lime juice (essential for balance)

• 4–5 cups (960–1200 ml) ice-cold water

• 1–2 Tbsp plain simple sugar syrup, optional (only if needed)

To Serve

• Ice

• Lemon slices

• Fresh mango cubes

Directions

Make the Mango Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine the mango, sugar, water, lime zest, and sea salt.
Bring to a very gentle simmer over medium-low heat and cook for 6–8 minutes, just until the mango softens but does not break down.
Remove from heat, add the grated ginger, and let steep off heat for 2 minutes.
Strain and Cool
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or measuring jug.
Let the liquid drip naturally — do not press or force pulp through the sieve.
Discard the solids and let the syrup cool completely.
Juice the Citrus
Juice the lemons until you have 240–300 ml of fresh lemon juice.
Add lime juice — start with 1 Tbsp and adjust to taste. Mango needs lime for brightness and structure.
Assemble the Lemonade
Add lime juice — start with 1 Tbsp and adjust to taste. Mango needs lime for brightness and structure. If needed, adjust sweetness with plain simple sugar syrup — avoid adding granulated sugar directly.
Chill
Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until fully cold and flavors are integrated.
Serve
Fill glasses with ice, pour over the mango lemonade, and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mango cubes.

*Notes :

Mango should soften, not dissolve — this keeps the drink clean and drinkable.
Lime juice is not optional here; it sharpens mango’s natural sweetness.
Always strain gently — pressed mango pulp makes the lemonade heavy and dull.
