Tips on How to Make Mango Lemonade

• I like to use simple syrup but feel free to swap with honey or agave nectar if you prefer a healthier sweetener.
• For intense mango flavor and natural sweetness, choose ripe mangoes.
• To extract the most juice, make sure lemons are at room temperature. Better yet, warm them in the microwave on HIGH for about 20 seconds or allow to sit in hot water for about 30 seconds. After warming, roll lemons on a solid surface until their flesh soften.
• Infuse the simple syrup with your favorite herb for another layer of flavor. Just add a few sprigs of basil, mint or thyme to the syrup after removing from the heat and allow the herbs to steep while the syrup cools. Remove the herbs before using the simple syrup.
• If you don’t have access to fresh mangoes, substitute canned mango puree in equal amount.
• I like to make my lemonade pretty tart and sweet as the added ice naturally dilutes the mixture. Feel free to add more water to suit taste.
• To easily kick up the drink for grown-up fun, add a splash or two of vodka.
