Quick Mango Iced Tea

Featured in Easy Drink Recipes.

Been making this mango tea like crazy since summer started. Just cook down some mangos and mix with strong tea and honey. Pour it over ice and its better than store bought. Used frozen mangos cause theyre cheaper and it worked fine. Added more honey to mine cause I like sweet drinks. My kids keep asking for it instead of juice. Nice to have something cold thats not soda.```

How It Tastes

Sweet mango mixes well with tea. Makes a cool drink perfect for warm days. Good for backyard sitting or having friends over.

Good For You

Made with real fruit, not fake stuff. Mangoes have vitamin C. Tea has good things for health. Add honey to make it sweet naturally.

Make It Your Way

Change it how you like. More honey for sweeter taste. More tea bags for stronger tea. Try mint or ginger for different flavors. Add lemon for extra tang.

Keeping It Fresh

Keeps 4 days in closed container in fridge. Stir before drinking. Freeze some tea in ice cubes to keep drink cold without watering down.
