Things to note for a perfect Mango Jelly Milk: Mango Jelly: I used a mango-flavored, store-bought jelly mix for this recipe. You can make the jelly as per the instructions provided in the pack, but use less water to make the jelly. We need the mango jelly to be firm. Mangoes: Please use super-ripe mangoes for this drink. Ripe mangoes mean a sweeter and more flavorful drink. Boba straw: Since we are adding mango and jelly cubes to the drink, it will be convenient to use a boba straw or a fat straw for consumption. Mango Jelly Milk Serves: 2-3 no Ingredients: Mango flavored Jelly mix - 1 pack Water (Boiling)- 1- 1/2 cups (1.5 cups) Mango flesh - 1/2 cup Condensed milk - 1 tbsp.

(the jelly must be small enough to sip through the boba straw) Add 1/2 cup mango flesh, condensed milk, and milk to a blender and blend until smooth. Now to a serving glass, add 2 tbsp. of mango chunks, 4 tbsp. of mango jelly, and pour in the prepared mango milk. Add a boba straw, mix, and enjoy.
