Step-by-Step Instruction

1. Prepare the Mango: Begin by peeling the mango and removing the pit. Cut the mango flesh into small chunks.
2. Blend the Mango: Pass the mango pulp through a sieve or blend it in a blender until smooth. This ensures a silky consistency for the milkshake.
3. Chill the Milk: Before blending, ensure your milk is chilled. This will help keep your milkshake refreshingly cold.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the mango puree, cold milk, orange juice, honey or sugar, and ice cream.
5. Add a Pinch of Salt: Sprinkle a small pinch of salt over the ingredients in the blender. This helps balance the sweetness and enhances the flavors.
6. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until they are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
7. Check Consistency: If you prefer a thinner milkshake, you can add a bit more milk and blend again.
8. Taste Test: Taste the milkshake to see if it needs any adjustments in sweetness. Add more honey or sugar if required and give it another quick blend.
9. Serving Glasses: Pour the milkshake into tall glasses. Ensure each serving has a generous portion with a smooth consistency.
10. Garnish (Optional): You can garnish the milkshake with a slice of mango or a sprig of mint for an extra touch.
11. Serve Immediately: This milkshake is best enjoyed right away while it's cold and frothy.
12. Presentation: Present your milkshake in stunning glassware to make it look as good as it tastes.
13. Enjoy: Sip slowly and savor the tropical flavors that dance on your palate.
14. Clean Up: Once you've served the milkshakes, quickly rinse the blender to prevent mango residues from sticking.
15. Sharing: If prepared for guests, serve with a side of tropical fruits or light snacks.
16. Pairing: Pair with light pastries or sandwiches, which don't overpower its delicate taste.
17. Consider Allergies: If serving guests, check for any lactose or fruit allergies.
18. Reuse Remaining Ingredients: Use left-over ice cream or mango in other desserts or meals.
19. Storing Tips: If you have leftovers, store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, understanding that the texture might change.
20. Experiment: Don’t hesitate to experiment with additional flavors, like adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for a spiced variant.
