Instructions

Peel and chop the ripe mangoes. Purée the mango pieces in a blender until smooth. Set the mango purée aside.
In a saucepan, combine the water, black tea, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. This blooming process helps release the full flavor of the tea. Remove from heat and strain the tea into a heatproof bowl or pitcher.
Stir in the lemon juice. Let the tea cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
Once chilled, gently whisk in the mango purée until well combined.
Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the mango iced tea over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For a smoother texture and more vibrant mango flavor, strain the mango puree through a fine-mesh sieve before mixing it with the tea.
Chill the brewed black tea completely before combining with mango and lemon to prevent dilution from melting ice and preserve a crisp flavor profile.
For a sparkling variation, replace half the water with chilled club soda just before serving to add a refreshing fizz.
Garnish each glass with a thin mango slice and a sprig of mint for an eye-catching, aromatic presentation.

Expert Tips

Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding simple syrup or honey to the mango mixture.
Experiment with different types of tea, such as green tea or oolong, for unique flavor combinations.
For a stronger mango flavor, use frozen mango chunks instead of fresh mango.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover mango iced tea in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Give it a good stir before serving as the mango puree may settle.
