Notes
- Use firm, green raw mangoes for the best tart flavor.
- Start with ¼ cup sugar and add more only after tasting.
- Raw mangoes vary in sourness, so sweetness should always be adjusted.
- Add water gradually so the aam panna does not become too thin.
- This recipe is made as a ready-to-drink pitcher, not a concentrate.
- You can also cook the mangoes whole, then peel and scrape out the pulp, but I find cutting them first much easier.
- Stir before serving because the spices may settle slightly.
- Serve well chilled over ice.
