- Fresh mint leaves
- Chilled soda
How to make mango fizz (step-by-step)
1. Choose ripe mangoes:
Pick mangoes that are slightly soft and aromatic for natural sweetness.
2. Cut and cube the mango:
Slice along the seed to get two cheeks. Make criss-cross cuts in the flesh and scoop out the cubes.
3. Prepare mango puree:
Blend the mango cubes with sugar into a smooth puree.
4. Add to glass:
Pour the puree into a tall glass as the base.
5. Build flavours:
Add fresh lemon juice, lightly crushed mint leaves, and soaked sabja seeds.
6. Add fizz:
Top with chilled soda. The sabja seeds will rise and create a fizzy effect.
7. Stir and serve:
Mix gently, top with more soda if needed, and serve immediately.
