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. Brew the tea

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. Prepare the fruit purée

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

3. Strain the purée

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

4. Combine tea and purée

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

5. Chill and dilute

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

6. Infuse with mint

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

7. Refrigerate

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

8. Serve

Pour over additional ice cubes in glasses, garnish with mango/peach slices and fresh mint leaves.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Steeping the tea for the full 5 minutes ensures a robust base that complements the fruit purée. Muddling the mint gently rather than crushing preserves its fresh flavor without bitterness. Straining the purée is optional but helps create a smoother texture. Feel free to adjust sweetness by tasting before chilling.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a sparkling twist, swap some of the cold water with sparkling water just before serving. To keep it sugar-free, use stevia instead of honey or agave syrup. Experiment with adding a splash of lime juice for extra zing or substitute green tea bags to mellow the overall flavor.

Serviervorschläge

Serve this iced tea in tall glasses over plenty of ice for a cooling experience. Garnish with fresh mango and peach slices alongside sprigs of mint for a vibrant and inviting presentation, perfect for picnics, backyard parties, or a simple refreshment anytime.
