Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare And Chill The Coffee

  • - Brew approximately 3 cups (720ml) of strong coffee using your preferred brewing method.
  • - If using a coffee machine, prepare the coffee according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • - For a French press, allow the coffee to steep for approximately four minutes before pressing the plunger down.
  • - Transfer the brewed coffee into a heat-resistant jug.
  • - Allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
  • - Chill for approximately 1–2 hours, or until completely cold.

Step 2: Prepare The Fresh Mangoes

  • - Wash the mangoes thoroughly under clean running water.
  • - Use a sharp knife to peel away the skin.
  • - Cut the flesh away from the large central stone.
  • - Chop the mango flesh into small, manageable cubes.
  • - Measure approximately 2 cups of mango chunks.
  • - Reserve a small quantity for garnishing the finished drinks.

Step 3: Blend The Mango Mixture

  • - Transfer the prepared mango chunks into your blender.
  • - Add the 2 cups of milk.
  • - Pour in the honey or maple syrup.
  • - Add the vanilla extract.
  • - Include the optional coconut cream for a richer tropical flavour.
  • - Blend on medium speed for approximately 30–60 seconds.
  • - Increase the speed if necessary until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy and free from large fruit pieces.
  • - Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if required.

Step 4: Prepare The Serving Glasses

  • - Take six clean, tall serving glasses.
  • - Fill each glass approximately halfway with ice cubes.
  • - Distribute the ice evenly between all six glasses.
  • - If you want an attractive layered presentation, avoid filling the glasses completely with ice.
  • - Keep the glasses chilled until you are ready to assemble the beverage.

Step 5: Add The Mango And Milk Mixture

  • - Divide the blended mango mixture evenly between the six glasses.
  • - Pour slowly to avoid splashing the sides.
  • - Allow the mixture to settle around the ice cubes.
  • - Check that each glass receives a similar quantity.

Step 6: Add The Chilled Coffee

  • - Remove the chilled coffee from the refrigerator.
  • - Stir gently to ensure the coffee is evenly mixed.
  • - Slowly pour approximately ½ cup of coffee into each glass.
  • - Direct the coffee towards the inside edge of each glass or pour it gently over the back of a spoon.
  • - Allow it to float or blend partially with the mango mixture, depending on your preferred presentation.

Step 7: Finish With Your Favourite Garnishes

  • - Sprinkle a very small amount of ground cinnamon over the top if desired.
  • - Add a few reserved mango cubes.
  • - Consider a light drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
  • - Add a reusable straw or long-handled spoon.
  • - Serve immediately while the ice is still firm.
