Mango Frooti fresh and juicy! This popular ad line from childhood has always brought smiles and cravings for that sweet, tangy mango drink. It’s been my favourite drink ever since I was a kid, and even now, I can’t say “No” to Mango Frooti, even though I usually avoid aerated drinks. Imagine making this nostalgic drink at home, without any preservatives—interesting, right? Yes, it’s simple, easy, and the best part is, you can store it for up to one week to ten days, ready to serve guests a refreshing, natural drink anytime!
Why Homemade Mango Frooti / Maaza is Special
- Healthier and Fresher: Unlike the store-bought version, making it at home allows you to enjoy the pure, natural flavour of mangoes without any preservatives or artificial ingredients.
- Long-Lasting: Store your homemade Mango Frooti in the refrigerator, and it stays fresh for 7-10 days, making it a great option to prepare in advance for gatherings or family enjoyment.
Mangoes – The Ultimate Summer Fruit
Mangoes are everyone’s favourite, and if you’re lucky enough to have a mango tree in your backyard, what else could you ask for? The mangoes from our tree are naturally sweet, juicy, and have a lot of pulp with a small seed, making them perfect for making Frooti. There’s no sourness, and they have an incredible amount of flavour. I used these homegrown mangoes for this recipe, along with Thothapuri mango as the raw mango to add a hint of tanginess. If you prefer a little more sourness, feel free to experiment with other varieties of raw mango. The flavour profile can be adjusted to suit your taste.
How to Make Homemade Mango Frooti / Maaza
Making this drink is straightforward. Begin by boiling ripe, pulpy mangoes to extract their juice, then blend them into a smooth puree. Mix in sugar and a touch of raw mango to balance the sweetness with just the right amount of tang. You can easily adjust the flavour by adding more or less raw mango based on how tangy you like it. Once prepared, chill the drink for a few hours to enhance the flavors, and it’s ready to serve!
Why Choose Homemade Mango Frooti / Maaza?
- Natural and Preservative-Free: Control the ingredients and enjoy a drink free from harmful preservatives and artificial colors.
- Customizable: Adjust the sweetness, thickness, and tanginess to your liking by choosing the type of mangoes that suit your taste.
- Perfect for Summer: Homemade Mango Frooti is the perfect refreshment for hot summer days, making it a favourite for both kids and adults alike.
Making this delightful mango drink is a great way to make use of fresh, ripe mangoes, especially if you have a backyard tree brimming with fruit. It’s a healthier, fresher option that brings back nostalgic memories while offering the true taste of mango in every sip.
