It is a very popular North-Indian drink. One sip of Aam Panna/Mango Drink will rejuvenate you. This is made of raw (green) mangoes or can also be made using unripe ones. But it tastes better if made with the green mangoes. You can serve it hot or cold. I like it both ways. I always drink a cup of hot Aam Panna when I make it, as it’s very hard or impossible to resist. You can also serve it cold with some ice cubes and fresh mint leaves. This is my favorite drink, apart from Chai. I remember when I used to come from school, my Mom used to serve it with lunch. Still remember those wonderful childhood memories. Summers in India are horrible, as temperature shoots up the roof. So Aam Panna/ Mango Drink works like a charm and helps you to cool down in an instant.

These are small-sized green mangoes that are very sour in taste. That sourness, when combined with different flavors like mint, roasted cumin powder, rock salt & sugar, etc., gives a very distinctive flavor. These raw mangoes are very hard to get and not available in all the stores. So sometimes I also make using unripe mangoes too. I add lemon juice when using unripe mangoes to bring a similar taste.
First and foremost, use small-size raw mangoes. If you can’t find raw mangoes then you can also use the most unripe mangoes you can find. Also if using unripe mangoes, then try to find the ones that have less hair. When boiling the mangoes, you can boil whole mangoes. Or you can cut the mangoes first and add the pieces for boiling. For sweetness, I have added sugar. But you can also add Honey, Maple Syrup, or Jaggery. For a refreshing taste, I always add some fresh mint leaves. And later grind them with the boiled mango pieces. If mangoes are not tangy or sour in flavor, then add lemon juice to the Aam Panna/Mango Drink.
