Simple Citrus Refresher with Mango Ice Cubes

Hello! Its been a while since our last food blog. I’ve been experimenting with different kinds of fruit waters at home—which I really enjoy after a sweaty yoga practice—and concocted this little number late this Winter. I was missing the warm tropical breezes after yoga teacher training in Hawaii! My favorite part about this drink? When you run out of liquid, the mango pieces are thawed and ready to eat! Win-win.

Makes two 16-oz drinks

Ingredients

• 3 Oranges or Minneolas
• 2 big grapefruit
• 16 oz water
• 1 TB maple syrup
• 1 bag frozen chopped mango

1. Juice the citrus (oranges, grapefruit, etc.) using a handheld juicer or whatever fancy gadget you own. Simply holding half a citrus over a bowl, and pressing a pair of closed tongs into the center does the trick
2. Pour the juice through a mesh strainer and into a second bowl
3. Whisk in maple syrup
4. Pour evenly between 2 pint sized ball jars or drinking glasses
5. Fill with water until each glass is 3/4 full of liquid
6. Place 4-5 pieces of frozen mango in each glass

Voila!
