Mangoes are best enjoyed during summer
when markets are flooded with variety of this seasonal fruit. We have
milkshakes, sherbets and even just plain juices during the season when this
fruit makes it appearance.
But to have this fruit-juice off-season
is a boon.
I was pleasantly surprised when I
relished this flavor off-season in a drink called ‘aamras’ by ‘Paper boat’.
Packed in attractive, colorful, aluminum-lined
paper pouches, this drink has no color, no preservatives and no artificial flavors.
The sweetest sour taste of the mango
pulp is enhanced by addition of sugar, citric acid, cardamom and saffron. It
has very refreshing taste when chilled.
My friends and I had enjoyable
afternoon, tasting the different flavors of this ‘Paper Boat’
We tasted Jamun Kala khatta, Jaljeera,
Aamras and aam Panna.
Aam Panna was more sweet than sour. It
would taste better if it were a bit more sour.
The Jaljira flavor is too sweet. The
taste is a bit different from the original fresh Jaljira that we have at Pani Puri
stalls. The taste of spices used in the drink are over powered by the sweetness of
the drink.
Jamun Kala khatta was enjoyed by all and
reminded us of our trip to Juhu beach when we had iced sherbet and soft drinks
at the drink stalls.
Verdict:
Highly satisfied with the taste of Jamun
Kala khatta and aamras flavors.
Jaljira and Aam panna are too sweet and
they need improvement.
The 250ml soft, attractive pouches are
easy to carry in purse or in the pocket and occupy very little space.
