    About This Recipe

    A refreshing blend of brewed black tea, mango puree, lime juice, and mint leaves, this Mango Iced Tea is a perfect drink to serve for summer parties, BBQs, picnics, or brunches.

    When it’s mango season, I make a big pitcher of this iced tea with tropical flavors using fresh fruit and sip all day long.

    Made in just 15 minutes, it is easy, fruity, and gives instant relief from the blistering heat.

    Make this refreshing mango iced tea recipe using freshly pureed mangoes, canned mango puree, or frozen mangoes. This drink is vegan and gluten-free too.

    Ingredients

    Mango iced tea ingredients.

    Black Tea – I made this tea using Assam black tea leaves but you can also make it with green tea or earl grey tea for a healthier alternative.

    Mango Puree – You can make mango puree at home or buy a can. I have mentioned the process to make homemade puree below.

    Lime – Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best result.

    Mint Leaves – Fresh mint leaves add a refreshing and distinct taste to this drink. You can replace them with basil leaves for a flavor change.

    Sweetener – If the mangoes are sweet enough, you really do not need any sweetener. But if you feel the need, choose from sugar, maple syrup, agave nectar, or honey (not vegan).

    You can add a splash of tequila, white rum, or vodka to make spiked mango iced tea.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How to make mango puree?

    Wash a ripe and juicy mango and wipe it using a paper towel. Peel the skin using a sharp knife. Now cut the flesh away from the seed. Discard the seed and cut the flesh into small pieces. Add the pieces to a blender and blend until smooth. Mango puree is ready to use. Refrigerate it for 2-3 days or freeze it for up to 6 months. You can make the puree in bulk, freeze it in small containers and keep using it in your recipes.

    How to make iced tea with green mangoes?

    To make iced tea with green mangoes, just replace ripe mango puree with green raw mango puree. The taste will be a bit tangier as compared to the ripe mango tea, but it tastes delicious. You can add in a little more sugar or honey if it is too tangy.

    Why does my Iced tea taste bitter?

    If you brew the tea leaves for a very long time, the brewed tea turns bitter. Do not brew the tea for more than 2 minutes.

    Can I add other fruits to this tea?

    Yes, you can. Raspberry mango is a great combination. You can also add peaches, pineapple, passion fruit, etc along with mangoes to this sweet tea.

    Storage Suggestions

    This tea tastes best when made fresh but if you have leftovers, they will last for about 3 to 4 days in a covered glass jar when kept in the refrigerator.

    You can replace black tea with green tea or earl grey tea for a healthier alternative.
    Replace mint leaves with basil leaves for a flavor change.

    If you brew the tea leaves for a very long time, the brewed tea turns bitter. Do not brew the tea for more than 2 minutes.
    You can also make this tea with green raw mangoes instead of ripe ones. Just puree green mango and use the puree to make the tea. The tea will have a tangy taste. Increase the amount of sweetener to balance the tang.
