Mango Lemonade | Summer Drinks

How's the weather at your places ?? Though it's summer in most parts of the world, but at some places the heat is very high.Recently had read in news about summers in Kuwait.The outside temperature is so high that 'bullseye eggs' can be prepared on the tar roads in the afternoons.That's the perfect time to sip a chilled lemonade to feel fresh and energetic.Lemonade with any fruit is flavourful and refreshing, but this is the one which kids love a lot because of mangoes.Lemon and mangoes together yield a very comfort drink for summers to beat the heat.Am an adamant fan of mangoes, and so you can imagine my attachment to this very drink.Do give this a try & enjoy making your own lemonade flavours !!

 NOTES
* You can refrigerate the leftover syrup and use whenever making juices.Adds a great flavour than just adding sugar. Use this simple sugar syrup to make shakes.
* You can double or triple these ingredients to make a larger batch, always.
