Mango Ginger Lemonade

This drink is sweet from ripe mangoes, sour from fresh ginger, and refreshing from the lemon juice and ginger.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 4 cups cold water
• Ice cubes
• Lemon slices and mint leaves for garnish

Instructions:

In a blender, combine diced mango, grated ginger, lemon juice, and granulated sugar

Blend until smooth

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any pulp

Add cold water to the pitcher and stir well to combine

Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar

Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour

Serve the mango ginger lemonade over ice cubes, garnished with lemon slices and mint leaves
