Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Black tea bags
- 4 cups Water
- 0.25 cups Black currant syrup
- 1 large Fresh mango
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 8 leaves Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
- 4 slices Lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Boil the water in a medium-sized pot. Once it reaches a boil, remove from heat and add the black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for 4 minutes, or longer for a stronger flavor.
While the tea is steeping, peel the fresh mango and cut it into small chunks. Blend the mango chunks in a blender until smooth to create a mango puree. Set aside.
Remove the tea bags from the pot and allow the tea to cool for 10 minutes.
Once cooled, pour the tea into a large pitcher. Add the black currant syrup and mango puree, stirring well to combine.
Taste the tea and, if desired, mix in the honey for added sweetness.
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the black currant mango iced tea over the ice.
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon. Serve immediately and enjoy!
