a popular Indian summer drink using unripe green (raw) tart mangoes
Aam panna is a drink made from green mangoes (raw ones) and is consumed as a healthy drink to fight against the summer heat. It is also believed that this can increase the resistance against anemia, cholera like diseases.
Aam panna / raw mango drink can be prepared in different ways. Here is my version showing how to make this sweet and spicy thirst quencher. Always use sour mangoes for making this drink. If it’s not available, you can add some lemon juice for the sourness to balance the taste. So here is the recipe for the summer drink using raw mangoes.

Aam ka panna is a great relief for the hot months. So glad to see the concentrate, Can we freeze it?
Seema, I think we can freeze it. Never try this way. I always prefer to refrigerate by keeping in an airtight container and finish by 2-3 days.
perfect summer drink and the kids love it.. the concentrate looks so delish 🙂
One of the best summer drinks ever…love aam panna. Whenever I get mangoes, I use the semi ripe one so that way I have to add less sugar. And the taste too is great.
Aam panna is a Summer delight for sure. It is both refreshing and cooling. We make it with jaggery.
Perfect summer drink! I drink this by the gallons! Yes it can be frozen I keep some in my freezer till I run out of space.
Delicious summer treat. It is refreshing to have this on a hot day. Nice clicks.
One of my favourite drinks during summers. I too love to make the concentrate and keep and enjoy it as required. Beautiful pics
