Aam pana with icy twist

Hi everyone,

Hope you all are fine.
We are experiencing a hot summer in India and the temperatures are soaring. It is 44 degrees in Delhi right now. So, to make life a little easier in this scorching heat, I thought of suggesting a cool summer special drink.

AAM PANA WITH ICY TWIST
Aam pana is an Indian drink renowned for its heat-resistant properties. It is made from green mangoes and is yellow to very light green in color, and is consumed as a tasty and healthy beverage to fight against the intense Indian summer’s heat. Most of the time, mint leaves are added which enhances the green colour.

INGREDIENTS:

6 green mango

1 cup jaggery(gud)

2 tbsp black salt

2 tbsp roasted cumin powder

Some mint leaves (optional)

Wash all mangoes thoroughly. Boil them without cutting.
Remove the seeds and grind them. Add water if required. Pour this into an ice tray and put it into the freezer.

Remove the ice tray from the freezer and take out mango pana cubes. Store all cubes in a ziplock bag and keep it in freezer. You can use these cubes as and when needed. These won’t get spoiled at least for 6 months.

How to make Mango pana with icy twist?

Take a glass, add 1 tbsp jaggery, add water and add our mango pana cube. Add 1/2 tsp black salt and sprinkle roasted cumin powder. Garnish with mint leaves.

Your chilled Mango pana is ready.

You may use sugar instead of jaggery. For me jaggery is the best option, it has its own nutritional advantages.

Hope you will like this summer drink.

See you soon with new recipe.
