MANGO THANDAI

Thandai is a very refreshing summer drink as it contains ingredients that cool the body and protect it against heat wave. I got to know this simple thandai recipe from my friend and love it a lot. I saw this idea of mango thandai in a restaurant menu in Insta feed and wanted to try this mango season. This year, because of this COVID-19 ,pandemic I haven’t purchased much mangoes, so used my frozen mango pulp. You can give yummy twist to the regular thandai, with the tropical fruit added for flavour in this thandai inspired drink. Thandai recipe by adding mango pulp to it. This not only gives this yummy drink a lovely taste but also makes it visually very appetizing. Mango thandai is very refreshing cool drink prepared in a very simple way.
