Two Delicous Drink Recipes

Posted by Margalit

Mangos are delicious. Nobody doubts that for a second. I love them, but I'm highly allergic to the skin, so I have to buy skinned mangos. But even with skinned or frozen mango pieces, I'm all about mango drinks. Mango Lassi in Indian Restaurants. Mango Milk Shakes. YUM.

Aam Ki Lassi Recipe

Preparation: 5-6 mts

Serves 4-5 persons

.
Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups ripe mango cubes

• 1 cup yogurt

• 1 tbsp sugar or 2 tbsps honey (adjust according to the sweetness of mango)

• 1/2 cup water (add more water for a thinner consistency)

• 1/2 cup crushed ice cubes

• mint leaves for garnish (optional)

1. Whip the above ingredients in a blender for a little less than a minute.
2. Adjust the consistency of the smoothie according to the variety of mango used. If its a juicy variety, it will yield a thicker smoothie. Add more water and adjust sugar accordingly, for a thinner consistency lassi.
3. Serve chilled, garnish with mint leaves.Another very popular, warm weather thirst quencher is the Mango milk shake. Prepared with minimum effort, it serves as a lazy summer meal or brunch and sure rejuvenates me on a hot day. With a strong mango flavor and undertones of cinnamon, its cool, refreshing and low on calories.
