Ingredients

1 cup Sugar
2 cups Unripe Green Mango
3 tsp Cardamom
1 cup Fresh Mint
5 tsp Black Salt

Directions

Choose the raw mangoes which are tart.
You can keep the skin on before boiling the mangoes. It gives a very distinct flavor to the Panna.
Peeling the skin before boiling makes the process very easy.
If the Panna is not very tangy, you can add some lemon juice to it.
Boil Mango with mild heat in 1 cup of water.
You can also roast mango before boiling if needed for crispy taste.
The subtly smoky flavor in this drink will take it to the next level.
Strain into the prepared glass.
Garnish with a parsley sprig, 2 speared green olives, and a lime wedge and a celery stalk (optional).
