Aam Panna Concentrate | Green Mango Concentrate | आम पन्ना शर्बत


Share with friends and family

Aam Panna is an Indian summer drink made out of raw mangoes. We can prepare the concentrate and preserve it for a long time and use it as and when we feel like having Aam Panna.
Not only is this very refreshing,its also a very good source of hydration during the scorching summer heat. I have also read that it helps prevent heat strokes and energises the body and maintains the body temperature.

There are no external preservatives  or food colors involved in the making of the concentrate hence making it a very safe option for children as well. Sugar acts as a natural preservative.

Turn them into Popsicles using the popsicle maker and kids would love to lick and enjoy after their playtime during the afternoon hours and elders can enjoy it as a drink with some ice cubes.

This post details the step by step method to make the concentrate and also the preparation of Aam Panna from the concentrate.

Make sure to store the CONCENTRATE in a dry and clean glass or food grade plastic bottle and keep it under refrigeration away from external moisture.


Preparation Time : 5 mins
Cooking Time : 30-40 mins

Next add the rock salt,pepper powder,jeera powder and mix it well and cook for another 3-4 minutes on simmer. I had dried pudina/mint leaves which I added by crushing it with my hands. It gave an extra punch and minty flavor to the concentrate.

  6. I think I had this once at an Indian cafe here one summer. I remember it was a really hot summer day and while the beverage was cooling - that mix of sweet and savory in a beverage was something my American palate did not like. But maybe I need to try it again...it does look so good!
