Mango Iced Tea
Cold brewed tea mixed with mango syrup makes for the perfect Summer beverage. This Mango Iced Tea is super refreshing, fruity and flavorful.
Ingredients
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup water for mango syrup
- 1 ripe mango diced
- 2 black tea bags
- 3 cups water for tea
- 10-12 fresh raspberries
- fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Put diced mango, sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring the water to boil.
- Simmer for 10 minutes on low heat. Mash the mangoes with a spoon or fork.
- Turn off the heat and let sit covered for 30 minutes.
- When cooled, strain this mixture so that you are left with mango syrup without the flesh. Discard the flesh and refrigerate the syrup.
- Boil the water for tea and add the tea bags. Let simmer for 2 minutes or more, depending on how strong you like your tea. Cool this tea.
- Fill two tall glasses or four medium-sized glasses with ice cubes and divide the mango syrup between them.
- Then pour in the tea equally.
- Add some raspberries and mint just before serving and enjoy the mango tea cold.
Notes
- Replace black tea with green tea bags if you prefer a less strong flavor.
- Don’t over-steep the tea, or it may turn bitter.
