What is Mango Iced Tea?

Mango Iced Tea is a variety of basic iced tea with the taste of sweet mango. The mango puree is combined with the iced tea decoction to make mango-flavored iced tea.

If you are a mango lover, and looking for a refreshing homemade summer drink, then this iced tea is worth bookmarking.

Ingredients Required:

Tea Leaves – I prefer using Indian milk tea leaves or black tea leaves for making iced tea decoction. Black Tea leaves give a strong taste to the iced tea. You can use green tea leaves or earl grey tea leaves as well.

Sweetener – To sweeten the iced tea I use white granulated sugar. If you are watching calories then use honey or brown sugar. Or if the mango puree is sweet enough, skip sugar all together.

Mango Puree: You can blend fresh mango pulp or use canned mango puree to flavor the iced tea. Make sure the mango puree is sweet and not sour in taste. You can use this mango puree to make various mango recipes.

Other Ingredients: Water, Ice Cubes, Mint Leaves

Other Flavors Of Iced Tea:

Iced Tea is a versatile drink that is highly customizable. You can add a variety of fruit flavors to the iced tea. And the best part is, it tastes unique with each fruit flavor.

Here are my TOP 3 Iced Tea Flavors:

Orange Iced Tea

Peach Iced Tea

Mango Iced Tea

Why iced tea taste bitter?

There is only one reason for iced tea tasting bitter – boiling the tea leaves for too long in the water. The steeping time for tea leaves is not more than 20 seconds. On the contrary, many of us boil tea leaves in the hot water for a minute or so resulting in bitter iced tea. Also, always add lemon or the fruit puree after cooling down the iced tea and not to the hot tea decoction.

How to make mango puree at home?

Remove the skin of the ripe mango. Collect the pulp in a bowl. Discard the stone. Transfer the mango pulp in a blender. If required, add a tablespoon of sugar. Blend to a smooth consistency without using any water. Use this mango puree to flavor the iced tea or make virgin mango mojito.

Can I use canned mango puree to make iced tea?

Yes, you can use the canned mango puree. Taste the puree before making the iced tea and adjust the amount of sweetener accordingly. Most purees are sweet enough, hence no need to add sweetener separately in the tea.
