Main Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 2 black tea bags
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup honey or to taste
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Boil Water: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan to prepare the base for your tea.
- Steep Tea: Add the 2 black tea bags to the boiling water and allow them to steep for 5 minutes, extracting rich flavors.
- Add Ginger and Sweetener: Remove the tea bags carefully. Stir in the freshly grated ginger and honey until the honey is completely dissolved, balancing spice and sweetness.
- Incorporate Mango: Add the diced ripe mango into the tea mixture and allow it to cool to room temperature, enabling the flavors to blend.
- Strain Tea: Strain the tea to remove mango pieces and ginger bits, resulting in a smooth beverage.
- Chill Tea: Place the strained tea in the refrigerator and chill until cold for a refreshing iced experience.
- Serve: Pour the chilled tea over ice cubes and optionally garnish with additional mango slices or grated ginger for an attractive presentation.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of honey to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- For a stronger ginger flavor, increase the grated ginger slightly or add thin slices during steeping.
- Use fresh, ripe mango for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- If you prefer, blend the mango after cooling instead of straining it out to make a pulpy iced tea.
- The tea can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for best taste.
