Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 units Rooibos tea bags
- 1 unit Ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 6 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil.
Remove the pot from heat and add the 4 rooibos tea bags. Let the tea steep for 10 minutes to develop a rich flavor.
While the tea steeps, peel and dice the ripe mango into small chunks.
After 10 minutes, remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool slightly. Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey or your choice of sweetener, if desired.
In a blender, purée the diced mango until smooth. If desired, strain the purée through a fine mesh sieve to remove any fibrous pulp.
Combine the mango purée with the cooled rooibos tea, stirring well to mix.
Fill a large pitcher with 2 cups of ice cubes. Pour the rooibos and mango tea mixture over the ice.
Serve the tea in individual glasses garnished with optional lemon slices and fresh mint leaves for a vibrant touch.
