How to make Panha

Peel and slice the mango and cut it to pieces leaving out its seed.
In a vessel, add the cut mango pieces and about 1 cup water, boil for about 10 minutes.
Let it cool to room temperature and remove the pulp.
Place the pulp into a processor/blender and puree it into a smooth consistency.
In a serving jar, add the pulp along with 2 tsp black salt and 2 tsp cumin powder, 4 tbsp sugar (more or less can be added to taste). Mix well.
Add about 2 ½ cups of cold water and generous amount of ice cubes or crushed ice. Stir well.
Pour out the drink in serving glasses and garnish with mint leaves or cilantro leaves.
