Got mangoes? Put them to use in Mango Iced Tea and Mango Trifle!

SAHAR HABIB —

Enjoy the nutritionally rich 'king of fruits' in drink and dessert form

I think we can all agree that the very best thing about summer in Pakistan is all the mangoes everywhere.

I was never a big mango fan when I was younger (blasphemous, I know!). However, over time, I’ve become more fond of them. Not only do they satisfy the sweet tooth, but are loaded with vitamins and minerals and are high on fibre and water content, which makes their consumption a win-win situation.

I’ve also become more interested in finding novel ways to use them in my baking and cooking.

Ease comes first for the two recipes I’m sharing today. Both require minimal effort and time in the kitchen, while highlighting mangoes in simple but delicious ways.

Mango Iced Tea

I practically live on tea and, during the summer months, iced tea is a refreshing change when I can't bear the idea of a hot cuppa. While iced tea with lemon is great on its own, flavouring it with fresh mango puree makes it extra special. This makes for a great Iftaar drink too; you get water, sugar, and caffeine all in one go.

Ingredients

For simple syrup:

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

The rest:

2 teabags

3 cups boiling water

1 cup fresh mango puree

1 teaspoon lemon juice

A pinch of salt

Ice, to serve

Method

1) To make the simple syrup: Add the sugar and water to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for about 3 minutes. Remove from stove and set aside to cool.

2) Add the teabags to the 3 cups of boiling water, cover, and leave to brew for 3 to 5 minutes.

3) Remove the teabags and discard. Leave the tea to cool.

4) In a large jug, mix together the cooled tea, mango puree, lemon juice and salt.

5) Sweeten the tea with the simple syrup, according to your taste. I added 4 tablespoons, but you can add more or less according to your preference.

6) Refrigerate the iced tea until you’re ready to serve.

7) Serve over ice.

Tip # 1: You can make a large batch of simple syrup and store it in a jar in your fridge for up to two weeks. Use it to sweeten all sorts of drink; it beats having to stand there stirring away until all the sugar dissolves!

Tip # 2: You can you use other fruit purees or juices to flavour your iced tea as well. Try swapping out the mango puree for fresh peach puree. A personal favourite of mine is to use 1 cup cranberry juice instead of fruit puree.

Mango Mousse Trifle

While you can't go wrong with a big bowl of mango chunks for dessert, this trifle elevates the simple mango without much effort. I’ve left out trifle standards like custard and jelly here, but you can add more layers if you wish.

Ingredients

½ lb plain cake, cut into cubes

2 large Sindhri mangoes, peeled and cut into large cubes

4 tablespoons caster sugar

1 cup mango puree, chilled (use a more flavorful mango for the puree, like Dosehri or Chaunsa)

1 cup whipping cream (heavy cream), chilled

½ to 1 cup icing sugar, sifted

Method

1) In a mixing bowl, add mango and caster sugar. Mix well, cover, and leave for 20 minutes.

2) In a large glass serving bowl, add cake in an even layer and then top with mangoes.

3) Prepare the mousse: Using an electric beater, whip the cream until stiff peaks form (when you remove the beater from the cream, the peaks formed should hold their shape).

4) Add the chilled mango puree and ½ cup icing sugar, and continue to beat until well combined. taste the mousse and add more sugar if desired.

5) Spoon the mousse over the mangoes in an even layer.

6) Cover the trifle and refrigerate, preferably overnight.

7) Decorate with chopped or sliced mango and serve.

I tried mango milk shake topped with Kellogg's K. Because I was bored and I like something crunchy. Not a bad combination.

If you love mango milk shakes, this is sure a keeper method for you to get them done in a jiffy

Ingredients:

Mangoes
Sugar

Method:

Peel the skin and chop the mangoes roughly.

Make mango puree without adding water.

Sterilize a freezer proof box.

Pour the puree into the box until it reaches 1 inch height. Now smear sugar on top of the layer until it is completed covered with sugar. The sugar layer should be atleast 1/4 inch thick.

In the same way alternate mango puree layer and sugar layer until the box is full. The top most layer should be of sugar.

Close the box tight and put it in the freezer.

This can be preserved for a year.

Use it when you want by scooping out the mango puree to make milk shakes, yoghurt shakes and so on.

After you scoop out some mango puree from the box, remember to smear sugar on it again to prevent it from getting spoilt.

Note: Use disposable kitchen gloved when you do the entire process.

Since Sugar is a natural preservative, it will keep the mango puree fresh and flavorful for a year or even a little more

You can rejoice your mango mood throughout the year

Scoop out some mango puree from the preserve and pulse it with some milk and cardamom powder to enjoy fresh mango milkshakes
