Mango Lemonade

Ingredients

• 2 green-skinned mangoes
  
• 4 cups cold water
  
• 1/2 cup sugar
  
• 1 pinch saffron, crumbled
  
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  

Directions

1. Wash the mangoes well. In a large pot, add mangoes and cover with water. Heat on a medium flame for 20 minutes .
2. Take the mangoes out of the hot water and let them cool down. When cool , squeeze gently to soften the pulp. Tear open the skin to extract all the pulp. Squeeze the seed/pit too in order to get as much of the pulp out as possible.
3. Put all the extracted in a blender with 1 cup of water. Blend for 1 minute, then pour into a large pitcher. Add remaining 3 cups of water, sugar, crumbled saffron, and lemon juice. Add salt. Mix well and chill.
4. Serve over ice in tall glasses.
