Instructions

1

Blend the Mango

Peel and pit the ripe mangoes and cut the flesh into chunks. Add to a blender with 2 cups of the cold water and blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy.

2

Strain and Transfer

Pour the blended mango through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher, pressing firmly to extract all the juice and leaving behind any fibrous mango strings.

3

Season and Serve

Add the remaining cold water, fresh lime juice, sugar, and chili powder to the pitcher and stir well until combined. Taste and adjust the heat and sweetness, then serve over ice with a chili salt rim and lime wedge.

Substitutions

fresh mangofrozen mango chunks thawed as a convenient and budget-friendly year-round option
chili powderomit entirely for a classic sweet tropical mango agua fresca without heat

Common mistakes

Using underripe mango results in a sour and flavorless drink so choose mangoes that are soft to the touch and fragrant
Adding chili powder directly to a single glass first is smarter than adding to the whole pitcher in case guests prefer no heat
