Aam Panna

#mania Aam Panna is a tangy refreshing summer drink made with unripe sour green mangoes, fresh mint, sugar, salt, black pepper, and roasted cumin powder. This beverage is popular in India during the scorching summer months for its heat-resistant properties. This seasonal tropical fruit when raw and unripe is boiled and blended with the addition of an assortment of spices which makes it all the more flavourful. The spices and raw mangoes when cooked and blended with spices has a cooling effect and prevent loss of sodium due to excessive sweating and also helps in gastronomical problems. This drink can be made fresh and consumed immediately or made into Aam Panna Concentrate. This concentrate can be refrigerated and stored for 6 months by adding preservatives. Add just 2 to 3 tbsp of concentrate in a glass and dilute with chilled water and top it with ice cubes and fresh mint leaves. Serve chilled.
