Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 cups water
- 4 green tea bags
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 3 tbsp honey (optional)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Mango slices and mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by boiling the water. As the water reaches a gentle boil, add the green tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for about 4-5 minutes, absorbing the leafy, earthy aroma of the green tea.
- In the meantime, blend the mango cubes until you achieve a smooth, luscious puree. The sweet fragrance of fresh mangoes will instantly lift your spirits.
- Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool slightly. Add the mint leaves and let the warmth of the tea release the mint’s aromatic oils. Sweeten with honey if desired, stirring until dissolved.
- Combine the mango puree with the slightly cooled tea. Stir well, ensuring the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Fill tall glasses with ice cubes and pour the mango mint tea over the top. Garnish with mango slices and fresh mint sprigs for an added touch of elegance.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- For a tangier twist, add a splash of freshly squeezed lime juice.
- If mangoes are out of season, substitute with frozen mango chunks.
- Serve in a chilled glass to enhance the refreshing quality of the drink.
- For a special touch at a party, consider adding a rim of sugar to the glasses.
Storage and Substitutions
- Refrigerate the drink base (minus the ice) for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
- Use agave syrup or stevia as a substitute for honey to suit dietary preferences.
