Summer has hit already in Bangalore in March only and the heat is unbearable. Although the temperature of Bangalore never goes that high but this year oh my god scorching heat. And in my apartment side full afternoon time heat is there.
So everyday I need some cool drink to sip it. Rather than opting for soft drinks, that are just full of sugar, I’ve got some tasty sparkling mango minty drink creations, that the whole family will enjoy.
How to dry mint leaves?Drying mint is fairly simple and there are a few different methods you can use it.
1. Naturally air drying (I use this method)
2. Microwave drying
a) Rinse each branch of mint in cold, running water. Dry them thoroughly using clean paper towels and at it dry.
b) Always dry your mint leaves in warm, dark room or under direct sun(heat). It will take days to dried it up. But give you always good results. Mine will take 4 to 5 days.
Microwave Method
c) Spread the mint leaves out on a microwave-safe plate. Keep them in a single layer, and do not let the leaves overlap. By keeping the mint in a single layer, you can dry the leaves out faster. Microwave it for about 1 to 3 minutes and every 30 seconds you need to change the sides of the mint leaves. Not sure about the result of using microwave.
You can make mango masala lemonade concentrate(a kind of squash) and you can enjoy anytime whenever you want. Just add ice cubes in the glass, now fill it 2/3 with mango concentrate and then pour chilled soda, you can add lemon juice (totally optional) and stir well. Sip it & enjoy😋😋😋
I usually made varieties of drinks at home only to enjoy my summers, earlier I had made roasted aam panna (that is also made up raw mangoes) boiled method - aam ka panna made in many variations either boiling or roasting raw mango. I love aam panna in both the ways, both have them different flavor and texture of drink.
This flavorful lemonade drink with all my favorite ingredients. All herbs are very commonly used in our kitchen. I have used dried mint leaves but you can use fresh mint leaves, they give also new and fresh flavor to the drink.
You'll love this refreshing drink. It's simple, easy to make, and perfect drink for summers in a glass! This the perfect combination of raw mangoes, mint and roasted cumin and pepper.
