Notes
You can replace black tea with green tea or Earl Grey tea.
Replace mint leaves with basil leaves for a flavor change.
Use any sweetener like sugar, maple syrup, agave nectar, or honey (not vegan).
If you brew the tea leaves for a 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.
