Serves 8



550 gm (about 3 mangoes)   coarsely chopped very ripe mango
375 gm   raw caster sugar

5 cm piece   ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped

To serve:   mineral water, lime wedges, peeled and sliced mango and ice


1 Combine mango, sugar, lemongrass, ginger, vanilla bean and seeds and 1½ cups water in a saucepan and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
