Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 4 cups water
- 2 green tea bags
- Honey or agave syrup, to taste
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
- Thin mango slices, for garnish
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the chopped mangoes and grated ginger. Blend until smooth and the mixture has a vibrant orange hue.
- In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and add the green tea bags. Let them steep for about 3-4 minutes until the tea has a rich, golden color.
- Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature. The aroma of green tea should create a soothing and fresh atmosphere.
- Once the tea has cooled, mix in the mango and ginger puree. Stir well to combine. If needed, add honey or agave syrup to achieve your desired level of sweetness. Taste as you go—the subtle heat from the ginger should balance beautifully with the sweet mango.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Mango Ginger Tea over the top. The clinking of ice cubes and the visual layers of the vibrant drink make for an inviting presentation.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and thin mango slices. Take a moment to appreciate the refreshing aroma and the colorful, appealing presentation.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- If fresh mangoes are not in season, frozen mango chunks can be used—just let them thaw before blending.
- For a frosty version, blend the mango mixture with ice cubes instead of adding ice separately.
- Serve in a chilled glass for extra refreshment.
- Adjust the amount of ginger based on your preference for spiciness.
Storage and Substitutions
Refrigerate any leftover Mango Ginger Tea in an airtight container for up to two days. Give it a good stir before serving again. If you’re out of green tea, black tea or white tea can be substituted, each offering a unique twist to the drink.
Pairings and Complements
This Mango Ginger Tea pairs wonderfully with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches, fruit salads, or even a bowl of mixed nuts. For a sweet treat, consider serving it alongside a lemon bar or a slice of angel food cake.
