Mango Mood #5 - Mango Squash

How would you like to have a home made Maaza or Slice when you are back home after a trip under the scorching sun???!!!!

The thought of it makes me feel thirsty and I'm sure even you would nod your head and agree with me :)

I have been quenching my thirst with it almost ever other day. Don't you want to do it too???

Get set go to make it right away :) Simple and yummy home made mango drink all for you :)

Ingredients:

Mango pulp - 1 ltr
Water - 1 ltr
Sugar - 1.5 kgs
Pottasium Meta bisulphite (KMS)– ½ tsp
Citric acid - 2 tsp

Method:

Peel and chop mangoes roughly. Make a puree using a blender and keep it aside.

Take the sugar, citric acid and water in a pan and heat it until the sugar dissolves and it bubbles up. It should be a thin syrup.

Allow this sugar syrup to come to room temperature and then mix up the above made mango puree.

Take a tsp of warm water and dissolve the Pottasium Meta bisulphite (KMS - preservative) in it. Add it to the squash and mix it up.

Now pour the squash into sterilized bottles and store in refrigerator :)

Mango squash is ready.

To serve, fill 1/3 of serving glass with the mango squash and remaining by water. Mix up well and serve chill topped with ice cubes :)

Note:

Use disposable kitchen gloved when you do the entire process.

KMS or PMS preservative is available in super markets like Nilgiris.

Tips:

You can use this squash as dessert topping also :)

Drizzle some mango squash on vanilla ice cream and serve :)
