# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Its like having a tropical vacation in a glass without leaving your kitchen
  • The cardamom adds this incredible floral warmth that makes it special
  • Takes literally ten minutes from mango to magic
02 -
  • Overripe mangoes work beautifully here, so don't shy away from those soft ones at the market
  • Cardamom can overpower if you get heavy handed, start with less and add more
  • Adding ice to the blender waters it down, better to chill your ingredients first
03 -
  • Let your ingredients come to fridge temperature rather than room temp for the coldest result
  • If you're using frozen mango chunks, reduce the added liquid since they release water as they blend
