Mango Lemonade / Mango Lemonade With Simple Syrup - Easy Mango Summer Recipe!

Summer at its full swing here, the past week was sunny, hot and humid days. Though it rained heavily during night time with strong T-storms we couldn't feel the chill breeze. Dunno how we going to manage another 2 months, we need to be hydrated and stay cool by having more water, fresh juices, cool drinks and summer fruits. My kids love mock tail or aerated kind of drinks rather than the milkshake or milk based drinks. So for them i make Lemonade, Orange Mocktail, Mango Mint Sparkler, Watermelon Lemonade and this time Mango Lemonade with Simple Syrup. This Mango Lemonade is a very delicious and refreshing thirst quencher and a must try Summer Drink. I used simple syrup for this Mango lemonade, simple syrup is nothing but a sugar syrup with one part of sugar and one part of water boiled until sugar dissolves. You can use this simple syrup to make any juices and it can be refrigerated up to 2 months or more.
Today one of our blogger friend Shama of Easy2cook recipes, celebrating her birthday and we group of friends wishing her along with some yummy treats virtually. So here's my small treat for you shama, a simple yet very delicious Mango Drink / Mango Lemonade.

Ingredients

1. Mango pulp   1 and 1/2 cup (from 2 big ripe Mangoes)
2. Simple Syrup    4 tbsp or to taste
3. Lemon Juice    1/4 cup
4. Crushed Ice    as needed.

Method
For Simple Syrup :
Sugar   1 cup
Water   1 cup

• In a sauce pan, add water and sugar stir well and bring it to boil until sugar dissolves completely.
• Allow this to cool and use it in any drinks or mocktails.
• Peel mango, scoop out the pulp and in a blender add mango chunks, lemon juice, couple of tbsp of water and few crushed ice and run until becomes a smooth puree.
• Now transfer the mango puree to a pitcher, add simple syrup, stir well (if you feel the juice is thick then add cold water as needed). 
• Then Pour this to serving glasses and top it with ice cubes or crushed ice and serve.
• If desired, to this add few crushed mint leaves. 

Notes:
In Simple Syrup, Instead of equal amount of sugar and water you can also add 1/2 cup sugar and 3/4 cup water for little thick kind of syrup.
Add sugar syrup according to your desired taste.
Also the sweetness is mainly based on the kind and quality of fruit you use, so add syrup accordingly.
The same way, instead of mango you can make strawberry lemonade, Watermelon Lemonade etc.,
