Mango Syrup (with Mango Matcha + Mango Coffee Recipes)

A juicy, tropical syrup made from Indian Kesar mangos. Perfect for matcha, coffee, or as a fruity sweetener in summer drinks.

Mango Syrup and Mango Matcha

This mango syrup is made using ripe, fragrant Indian Kesar. It’s sweet, juicy, and captures the essence of summer in a jar. This recipe makes around 780ml of syrup and can be used in drinks, desserts, or even as a topping.

I’ll also show you how I use it in two refreshing drinks: mango matcha and mango coffee!

Mango Syrup

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe mangos (I used Indian Kesar)

• 1.5 cups sugar

• 2 cups water

Method:

1. Peel the mangos — they should be soft and juicy.

2. Cut them into small chunks and add both the chunks and pits to a pot.

3. Add sugar and water to the pot. Stir well.

4. Heat on medium-low. Once it starts to bubble, mash the mangos to release their juices.

5. Simmer for 10–20 minutes.

6. Let it cool for 10 minutes, then strain through a sieve, pressing down to extract all the syrup.

7. Save the leftover pulp — it makes a great mango jam.

8. Pour syrup into a clean jar and let it cool before sealing.

9. Store in and air tight container in the fridge. It keeps for 1–2 weeks.

Mango Matcha

Ingredients:

• 3g matcha (I used Ochaia https://ochaia.co.uk/ )

• 50ml hot water

• Mango syrup (add to taste)

• Milk of your choice (I used whole milk)

• Handful of ice

Method:

1. Sift 3g (1 tsp) matcha into a bowl.

2. Add 50ml hot water.

3. Whisk vigorously for 30 seconds, moderately for 20 seconds, then lightly for 10 seconds for a perfect foam.

4. Add mango syrup to your glass (as much as you like), then add ice and milk.

5. Pour the matcha on top. Stir and enjoy!

Mango Coffee

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp instant coffee

• 2–3 tsp mango syrup (to mix with coffee)

• 100ml hot water

• Additional mango syrup (for the cup, to taste)

• Milk of your choice (I used whole milk)

• Handful of ice

Method:

1. Mix instant coffee with 2–3 tsp of mango syrup and 100ml hot water until slightly frothy.

2. Add more mango syrup to your glass (to taste), then ice and milk.

3. Pour the coffee over. Stir and enjoy the surprisingly delicious combo!
