Raw Mango Iced Tea or Aam Panna Iced Tea
This is the 18th post for #BlogchatterA2Z 2021 powered by Blogchatter. R is for Raw Mango. When fusion is everywhere then why not in iced tea? Here is a Raw Mango Iced Tea or Aam Panna Iced Tea as we say in our desi lingo. Mangoes have just entered the market. I had raw mangoes growing in my garden. and picked up two; one for Aam Panna and the other to make my favourite mango rice. I made Aam Panna today. But I felt like having iced tea and I clubbed both to get this awesome tasting drink. Raw Mango Iced Tea or Aam Panna Iced Tea is a fusion drink. It is ideal to save you against a sun-stroke. Add Iced tea to make a summer drink
How to make Aam Panna
Aam Panna is very easy to make; Blend mango pulp along with the salt, black salt, sugar, mint leaves and cumin powder water to a smooth paste. Some people may strain the pulp through a colander but I do not like to do that. If you are going out in the sun then Aam Panna is ideal to guard you against a sun-stroke. Make the puree and refrigerate it and whenever you are thirsty, add some chilled water and ice and your Aam Panna is ready. It is a very refreshing summer cooler made from boiled raw mango.
Raw Mango Iced Tea or Aam Panna Iced Tea
INGREDIENTS:
1 medium-size green raw mango
Salt to taste
1 small cup Sugar
Black salt to taste
1 tbsp roasted cumin powder
Chilled water
1 tbsp Mint leaves
Icecubes
METHOD
Wash the mango and pressure cook it in 4 cups of water for up to 5 whistles. You can also boil it in a pan till it is soft, but I find this faster. My mom used to roast it on the coal angithi
Open the cooker and once the mango has cooled, remove the skin and scrape and collect the gooey pulp with the help of a spoon.
I prefer using fresh cumin powder as the aroma of fresh cumin powder is intoxicating. It is very easy to make. Just dry roast the cumin seeds on a hot griddle for a minute or two and with the help of a rolling pin, u can powder it very easily. Believe me, it is worth it to give it a try.
You can use jaggery or demerara sugar instead of regular sugar. I usually use Demerara sugar but the colour changes and I wanted the natural colour of Aam Panna to show in the pictures.
Blend mango pulp along with the salt, black salt, sugar, mint leaves and cumin powder water to a smooth paste. Some people may strain the pulp through a colander but I do not like to do that.
To serve the drink: take a tall glass pour 2 tbsp of the mango puree and pour in chilled water. Add ice cubes and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
How to Make iced tea
This is how I make Iced tea; Heat 2 cups of water in a pan for 2 to 3 minutes until hot. Add 1 tsp tea powder or 1 tea bag and turn off the flame after 30 seconds. Cover the pan and let the tea steep into the water. Strain the tea after 2 minutes and let it cool. If you want a nice mint flavour then add a few mint leaves to the tea and keep it in the fridge for a couple of hours or you can check the full recipe here.
Method
To make the iced tea take a glass and pour the Aam Panna first.
Then add the tea decoction and finally pile on the ice.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and serve Raw Mango Iced Tea or Aam Panna Iced Tea.
I will keep adding other flavours so keep watching this space.

The first time I had this was when my professors made it for us and brought it to the hospital during my pg days in Pune… such fond memories
Raw Mango is summer delight, and with Iced tea, it sure will taste super yum.
I have tasted aam panha and iced tea separately but never thought to mix them both.
I tried making in a similar way, but forgot to add Mint leaves yesterday.
Being a very unskilled cook , sometimes I try my hand at pana and tea. Found your post very useful. If I may point out a small thing – the photo you have given at the top is not of mango. Is it somehow related to this post?
Thank you for your appreciation. The photos are all of Mango only.
This is sure going to be a hit at my place. I had bought mangoes yesterday to make aam panna now its going to be iced tea with it.
Refreshing recipe for summer

Aam Panna is an absolute favorite but combining it with iced tea is something new. Though I am not a big fan of iced tea but looks like the flavor of Aam Panna is going to make it a refreshing summer drink.
Having AAm Panna during sunny summers is pure bliss. I used to make kaccha aam Panna but never tried Panna iced tea, Tempting pics pushing me to try it this summer.
I make Aam Panna at home exactly as you’ve described. Mango iced tea is something new and exciting. I’ll try.
Sounds very refreshing for this summer. Trying out sooner
I love aam panna and have many childhood memories of it. Wouldn’t want to try the iced tea version, to be honest. Lemon and peach are my favourite flavours for it.
I love Aam panna but combining it with iced tea is something new. Sounds like a refreshing summer drink.
