Instructions
Preparation
- Peel and chop the mangoes and beetroot into small to medium-sized pieces.
Cooking the Fruits
- In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of water. Add the chopped mangoes and simmer for 3 minutes.
- In a separate saucepan, heat ½ cup of water. Add the chopped beetroot and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let both the mangoes and beetroot cool completely.
Sugar Syrup
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1.5 cups of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Continue to cook the syrup until it reaches a one-thread consistency (a thin thread forms when you lift the spoon and allow the syrup to drip back into the pan).
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Blending
- Once cooled, separately blend the cooked mangoes and beetroot into smooth purees. Add a tiny amount of water only if necessary to achieve a smooth consistency.
Combining & Finishing
- Combine the mango and beetroot purees in a bowl. Stir in the cooled sugar syrup.
- Lightly crush 4 green cardamom pods and add them to the mixture.
Storage & Serving
- Transfer the mixture to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- To serve, mix 2-3 tablespoons of the concentrated mixture with cold water or sparkling water in a glass. Add crushed ice if desired.
- Store the refrigerated mixture for up to 8-10 days.
