Add sugar and water to a pan and heat the mix on medium flame till it starts boiling. Make sure that sugar is completely dissolved. Turn off the flame and let sugar-water syrup cool down.

Pour in glasses and add ice cubes. Your tasty mango fruity is ready to be served.

Mango Mint Lassi:

In a blender jar, add the sliced mangoes, two cup yoghurt, half tsp green cardamom, one-fourth cup orange juice, 1 tsp honey and some ice cubes. Blend until you receive smooth consistency. Transfer the lassi to glasses and use mint leaves to garnish. Serve immediately. You can also add more honey or sugar as per your requirements.

Take another pan and add 100 gm sugar and 250 ml water to it. Let the mix boil on medium flame. Once this mix cools down, you can use it as sugar syrup. When the mangoes are properly cooked, remove the seeds and skin. Strain the water and keep it aside. Don’t throw the water away. Keep the mangoes at room temperature and allow them to cool. Take out the pulp and grind in a grinder. Take the grinded mango pulp in a pan and add sugar syrup, roasted cumin powder (as per taste), 1/2 teaspoon salt (as required) and 8-10 mint leaves.
