🧂 Ingredients (U.S. Standard Measurements)

• 3 ripe mangoes (or 2 cups mango puree)
• 4 cups water (for tea)
• 3 black tea bags (or green tea for a milder version)

• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves and mango slices, for garnish

🍳 Instructions

1. Brew the Tea

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and steep the black tea bags for 5–7 minutes. The longer the steep, the stronger the flavor. Discard tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.

2. Make the Mango Puree

While the tea cools, peel and dice the mangoes. Blend the mango flesh until smooth. If the puree is too thick, add a splash of water or lemon juice.

Note: For an ultra-smooth texture, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve.

3. Mix and Sweeten

In a large pitcher, combine the cooled tea, mango puree, honey (or sugar), and lemon juice if using. Stir until fully combined and sweetener is dissolved.

4. Chill and Serve

Add 2 cups of cold water to dilute and chill the tea. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or serve immediately over a tall glass of ice.

5. Garnish

Top with fresh mint leaves, mango slices, and a lemon wedge for extra flair!

🧠 Tips & Tricks

• Use very ripe mangoes for the sweetest, most flavorful puree.
• For a sugar-free version, use stevia, monk fruit, or simply skip the sweetener if your mangoes are naturally sweet.
• Want extra tang? Add orange juice or passion fruit pulp.
• Make a mango green tea version by using green tea instead of black for a lighter flavor.
• Store leftover mango iced tea in the fridge for up to 3 days.
