Ingredients
- 4 cups brewed black tea, cooled

- 2 tablespoons sweetener (sugar, honey, or agave syrup)
- Ice cubes, as needed
- Fresh mango slices or mint leaves for garnish (optional)
- Brew the Tea: Start by brewing 4 cups of black tea according to your preferred method. Once brewed, allow it to cool to room temperature or chill it in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the Mango Puree: Use fresh or frozen mango chunks to create 1 cup of mango puree by blending them until smooth.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large pitcher, combine the cooled brewed tea, mango puree, and your choice of sweetener. Stir well until the sweetener fully dissolves and the mixture is homogeneous.
- Chill: Place the mixture in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour to enhance the flavors and serve cool.
- Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the chilled mango iced tea over the ice, and garnish with fresh mango slices or mint leaves if desired. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness level to your taste by adding more or less sweetener.
- For a lighter option, substitute black tea with green tea or herbal tea.
- To make this drink vegan, ensure your sweetener is plant-based (like agave syrup or sugar).
- Fresh mangoes provide the best flavor, but good quality frozen mango works well year-round.
- This recipe can be doubled or halved easily depending on your serving needs.
