Ingredients

• Tea Base
  • 4 cups (1 liter) water
  • 4 black tea bags (or green tea for a lighter version)
• Fruit Purée
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 2 ripe peaches, pitted and diced
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• To Serve
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 1 cup ice cubes, plus more for serving
  • 1 small bunch fresh mint leaves
  • Mango and peach slices, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat, add tea bags, and steep for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and let the tea cool.

2. In a blender, combine diced mango, diced peaches, honey or agave syrup, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.

3. Strain the fruit purée through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove fibers, if desired.

4. Add the cooled tea to the pitcher with the fruit purée. Stir well.

5. Add 2 cups cold water and 1 cup ice cubes. Stir to chill and dilute to taste.

6. Add half of the mint leaves to the pitcher, muddling gently to release flavor.

7. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or until thoroughly chilled.

8. To serve, pour over additional ice cubes in glasses, garnish with mango/peach slices and fresh mint leaves.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Make sure to steep the tea for exactly 5 minutes to avoid bitterness while extracting enough flavor. When blending the fruit, adjust the sweetness gradually to match your preference, especially if your mangoes and peaches are particularly ripe and sweet. Straining the purée is optional but recommended for a smoother texture. Gently muddling the mint releases fresh aromas without overpowering the tea.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a sparkling twist, replace some of the cold water with sparkling water just before serving to add effervescence. To make this tea completely sugar-free, swap honey or agave syrup with stevia. For an added layer of citrus zing, try a splash of lime juice in the fruit purée or as a garnish. Green tea bags can be used instead of black tea for a lighter, more delicate flavor profile.

Serviervorschläge

Serve chilled over plenty of ice cubes to keep it refreshingly cool. Garnish each glass with slices of mango and peach along with fresh mint leaves for an inviting presentation. This iced tea pairs wonderfully with light salads, fresh fruit platters, or as a standalone cool-down treat on hot days.
