Mango Syrup (Starbucks Copycat)
Mango syrup is a smooth, fruity syrup made with real mango. It's perfect for recreating Starbucks-inspired drinks like mango cream cold foam, iced mango cream matcha, and iced mango cream chai.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mango chunks fresh or thawed frozen
- 1 cup water
- ¾ cup sugar
Instructions
- Peel and cut the mango into small chunks.
- Add mango, water, and sugar to a saucepan.
- Heat over medium until it reaches a gentle simmer.
- Simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Press the mango as it softens.
- Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer for a smoother texture.
- Press solids to extract all the syrup.
- Let cool completely.
- Transfer to a jar and store in the fridge.
Notes
- Use ripe mango for the best flavor.
- Straining gives a smoother syrup, especially important for cold foam.
- Store in the fridge for up to 10 days.
- Adjust sugar slightly depending on mango sweetness.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice if you want a brighter flavor.
- You’ll get about 1 to 1¼ cups of mango syrup after straining. That translates to roughly 16-20 servings. If you like a stronger mango flavor and use 2 tablespoons per drink, then it’s more like 8–10 servings.
