Equipment

Blender or food processor
Large pitcher

Ingredients

5 ½-6 ½ cups water divided
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 ½ cups freshly squeezed lemon juice about 8-10 lemons
2 cups mango chunks fresh or frozen, thawed if frozen

Instructions

Combine sugar and 1 ½ cups of water a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture is near boiling. Periodically stir to dissolve the sugar. Once the sugar dissolves, remove from heat and allow the simple syrup to cool.
In a blender, purée the mango chunks with ½ cup of water. This should leave you with 3 ½ cups to 4 ½ cups of water.
Pour the lemon juice, mango purée and simple syrup into a pitcher. Stir in 3 ½ cups of water and taste. If it needs further dilution for your taste, add a little water at a time until it suits your fancy. Cover and refrigerate to chill. Enjoy!

Notes

Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap and store for up to three to fives days, though it's freshest when enjoyed within 24 hours. Alternatively, you can freeze it for up to three months.
Strain the lemon juice first to remove excess pulp and seeds.
Stir before serving. The mango purée may settle at the bottom.
