Mango Martini

Did you know?

According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, you can grow a mango tree in your home. The seed of a mango can be nurtured into a slow-growing, leathery-leaved tree for your home. You can take the seed from the husk of the fruit. Scrape the fruit from the husk, then allow the seed to dry overnight. When dry, pry the husk open gently with a dull knife. Start the seed to germinate in a plastic bag filled with damp sphagnum moss. Germination will take two to three weeks.
