Recipe for "mango-shake"

NAME

     MANGO-SHAKE - A refreshing Indian summer drink
     This is a delicious, refreshing, and easy-to-make drink  for
     hot summer days.

INGREDIENTS (5 400-ml drinks)

     500 g     mango pulp (See note)
     1.5 l     whole milk
     30 g      sugar
     12        ice cubes

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Put one third of the mango pulp, 500 ml  of  milk,
               10  g  of sugar, and 6 ice cubes into the blender.
               Blend until smooth. Serve.
          (2)  Repeat step 1, quickly, as people will already  be
               asking for more.

NOTES

     Canned mango pulp is available in Indian and Latin  American
     grocery  stores.  The ``mango nectar'' that is widely avail-
     able in American grocery stores does not have nearly  enough
     mangoes  per  unit  volume  to  make this drink.  If you are
     lucky enough to be able to get fresh mangoes,  you  can  use
     the  flesh  of  one  ripe mango for about 100 g of the mango
     pulp; if you do that, increase the amount of sugar to  15  g
     per batch, as canned mango pulp always has added sugar.
     You can make interesting variations on this recipe by  using
     plain  yogurt  for  some or all of the milk, and by adding a
     tart  counterbalance  to  the  mangoes,  such  as   shredded
     kiwifruit.

RATING

     Difficulty: trivial.  Time: 3 minutes.  Precision:  no  need
     to measure ingredients.
