Hello Foodies!
Aam Panna is a refreshing cooler drink prepared using raw mangoes.
It is like squash that can be easily made at home. Mangoes used to prepare this drink must be raw and not ripened ones, they should be sour. Since there is a lot of sugar used here, this drink can be preserved for a weeks’ time.
I make this using water normally but when there are some guests coming at home, I make them using sprinkling water, it tastes heavenly with that. It is actually a heat-resistant drink that refreshes you from within. Some basic spices are added to it that gives it a spicy tangy taste. One of the main ingredients in this drink is fresh mint leaves which just makes this drink awesome.
Let’s see how we make it.
