Small saucepan
Citrus juicer
- Homemade simple syrup 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 225 ml
- Juice from 6-8 lemons 1 cup, 225 ml
- Puree from 2-3 ripe mangoes 1 cup, 225 ml
- Chilled unsweetened coconut milk 1 cup, 225 ml
- 500 ml chilled water 2 cups
- A dash of sea salt
- Crushed ice
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves finely chopped
Combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves completely. Allow it to cool.
Using a citrus juicer, squeeze the juice from about 6 to 8 lemons until you get around 1 cup of juice. Strain to remove seeds and pulp if you prefer a smoother drink.
Peel, pit, and chop the ripe mangoes. Blend them until smooth in a blender or food processor. You should aim for approximately 1 cup of puree.
In a large pitcher, combine the cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, mango puree, coconut milk, and chilled water. Stir well to incorporate all the elements.
Gently fold in the freshly grated ginger and chopped mint. These ingredients will provide that lively kick and aromatic freshness.
Fill glasses with crushed ice. Pour the coconut mango lemonade over the ice and garnish with extra mint leaves or thin slices of lemon for presentation.
- Quality Counts: Use ripe mangoes for the best flavor. They should be firm yet slightly soft when gently pressed.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the simple syrup according to your preference. Start with less; you can always add more!
- Make-Ahead: This lemonade can be made one day in advance. Just store it in the fridge, but keep the mint out until serving to prevent wilting.
- Add Fizz: For an effervescent twist, substitute half the water with sparkling water.
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate your drink with edible flowers or colorful straw for fun.
