Mango juice

🥭 A ripe-mango, water and lime drink without added sugar.

Ingredients

• 500 g net ripe mango flesh without skin or stone
• 400 ml cold potable water initially, plus enough to top to 1 litre final
• 20 ml lime juice

Preparation

Wash mangoes before cutting. Remove skin, stone and damaged areas, then weigh 500 g healthy flesh. Thaw plain frozen pulp beforehand in fridge.

Cut blender-sized pieces and check no stone/skin fragments remain. Measure 400 ml water and 20 ml lime.

Blend mango briefly with 200 ml taken from initial 400 ml water until smooth.

Add remaining 200 ml water and lime, then briefly blend or stir. No sugar added here.

If very fibrous, gently fine-strain and discard hard fibres. Then measure liquid in graduated jug.

Top with cold water to 1 litre finished drink, not one extra litre. Cover, chill 30 minutes and stir before serving.

Serve four 250 ml glasses. Refrigerate remainder immediately and preferably use within 24 hours.
