Ingredients
- 2 cups Ripe mango (peeled and diced)
- 1 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 4 lemons)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 5 cups Water
- 2 inches Fresh ginger (peeled and sliced)
- 2 cups Crushed ice
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 4 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, the granulated sugar, and the ginger slices. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat, let it cool completely, and then strain out the ginger slices to create a ginger-infused syrup. Set aside.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the diced mango and 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp, creating a smooth mango puree.
Step 3
In a large pitcher, combine the mango puree, freshly squeezed lemon juice, the cooled ginger syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of water. Stir well to combine.
Step 4
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lemon juice, if desired.
Step 5
Fill serving glasses with crushed ice, then pour the mango lemonade mixture over the ice.
Step 6
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon, if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing and zesty kick of Sarasota's Mango Lemonade!
