    Recipe to make mango juice concentrate that makes a refreshing and delicious summer drink. It is easy to make with just 4 ingredients and can be stored for up to 1 month in the refrigerator.

    3 glass bottles with mango juice concentrate

    Fresh mangoes are in season right now and I buy them quite often in bulk. We enjoy most of them as snack and dessert. But I make sure to save a few to make this refreshing mango concentrate, so we can enjoy our favorite summer fruit for a little longer.

    This is a recipe to make a concentrate - which means you will need to add water to dilute it before serving. There are no preservatives or artificial flavors because these will change the taste of the final drink.

    Growing up, my mom used to make a variety of juices, jams and marmalades that would last for the whole year. This was a yearly tradition during the summer back in India when there was an abundance of seasonal fruit.

    I grew up drinking these amazing homemade fruit drinks instead of the processed juices that are available today. I try to make them for my kids, so they can enjoy them as well.

    Ingredients

    The main ingredient is of course good quality mangoes. They should be ripe and sweet to make best tasting mango juice.

    Ingredients - Mangoes, sugar, water and lemons

    I highly recommend tasting the fruit before starting with the recipe. If they are not sweet enough, then you might have to add more sugar than recommended in the recipe or vice versa.

    I have had good luck with mangoes from Costco and the ones from Indian stores.

    The rest of the ingredients you need are sugar, water and lemon juice. Citric acid can be used instead of lemon juice.

    Instructions

    Start by washing and drying the mangoes completely. It is very important to dry them thoroughly. We don't want the moisture to spoil the juice since we want to store it for longer.

    Next peel and chop the mangoes. Then puree them until smooth. Set aside.

    Make a simple sugar syrup: combine sugar and water in a saucepan, bring to a simmer on low flame. Simmer till the sugar is dissolved.

    Take the pan off heat and cool it completely.

    Once the syrup comes to room temperature, stir in the mango puree and lemon juice. Mix well. Your concentrate is ready to use.

    Store it in a clean bottle for up to 1 month.

    How to make Mango juice from Concentrate

    So now that you have the mango concentrate ready to use, here's how to make a refreshing drink with it:

    Pour about ⅓ cup of mango concentrate in a serving glass. Pour chilled water to make a cup of juice. Add a few ice cubes and Enjoy!!

    Tips

    • Make sure your hands are completely dry during the whole preparation and storing process.
    • Use 2 tsp citric acid instead of lemon juice.
    • Taste the mangoes before making the simple syrup.
    • Adjust the quantity of sugar based on how sweet the mangoes are. The ones I used had a beautiful mango flavor and were quite sweet. I would start with the lower quantity and increase it based on your taste preference.

      I love mangos. This sounds like a wonderful juice to have on hand. Homemade is best. It would be great on it's own...or added to other recipes.
