Tropical Twist: Spicy Mango Mint Cooler Recipe

Today’s Homemade Beverage: Spicy Mango Mint Cooler

Hello, fellow foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a refreshing and unique beverage recipe that’s perfect for those hot summer days. I was inspired by the abundance of ripe mangoes and fresh mint in my garden, leading me to create this Spicy Mango Mint Cooler that combines fruity sweetness with a kick of heat. Trust me, you’ll want to sip on this all season long!

Ingredients:

• 2 large mangoes (400g)
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (10g)
• 1/2 jalapeno pepper (15g)
• Juice of 1 lime (30ml)
• 2 tbsp honey (30ml)
• Handful of ice cubes
• Sparkling water, to top up

Kitchen Tools:

• blender
• strainer
• knife
• cutting board
• citrus juicer

To start, place the diced mangoes, mint leaves, chopped jalapeno, lime juice, and honey in a blender. Blend on high until smooth and well combined. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any fibers from the mango.

Once strained, pour the mango mixture into a tall glass filled with ice cubes. Top up the glass with sparkling water, adjusting to your desired level of sweetness and spiciness. Give it a gentle stir to combine all the flavors.

This Spicy Mango Mint Cooler is a total crowd-pleaser with its tropical sweetness, herbaceous mint, zesty lime, and a subtle kick of jalapeno heat. The cooling effect of the mint balances out the spiciness, making it a well-rounded and refreshing drink.
