# What You’ll Need:
→ Tea Base
01 - 2 black tea bags or 2 teaspoons loose leaf black tea
02 - 2 cups boiling water
→ Mango Puree
03 - 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced, or 1 cup frozen mango cubes
04 - 2 cups water
→ Sweetener & Serving
05 - 2 tablespoons honey or to taste
06 - Ice cubes as needed
07 - Fresh mango slices for garnish (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Place the tea bags in a large pitcher and pour in 2 cups of boiling water. Let steep for 10 minutes, then remove the tea bags and discard.
02 - Combine the diced mango and 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, mashing the mango occasionally to create a smooth puree.
03 - Pour the hot mango mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the pitcher containing the steeped tea. Press down with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible, discarding any remaining pulp.
04 - Stir in the honey until completely dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness level if desired by adding more honey.
05 - Allow the mango iced tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour until thoroughly chilled.
06 - Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled tea over. Garnish with fresh mango slices on the rim of each glass if desired.
