    Mango green tea is a refreshing and healthy drink that is a great alternative to any boxed juice. In under 10 minutes, you can serve a delicious summery drink that is perfect for BBQs, picnics, and lunches.

    Mango green tea is the perfect summery drink.

    We can't wait to invite people over this summer to our new backyard and serve them this mango green tea around the pool! Perfect to quench anyone's thirst after a summer dip. I love hosting people and this is such an easy, yet very fun recipe to serve your guests.

    Why we love Mango Green Tea

    We love to sip on iced teas during the summer (or even all year round, and yes in Canadian's winter in freezing weather) and this mango green tea just hits the spot. The first time I made it, I knew it would be good, but I didn't realized how refreshing it would be. If I just closed my eyes... it would bring me back to a sunny destination and out of my cold and wet Canadian spring. This mango green tea is also super easy to make, and a healthy alternative to a pre-made drink from the supermarket.

    Best mangoes to use

    We love to use ripe altaulfo (champagne) mango. They're not very fibrous and very sweet and ripe, which makes it perfect for your drinks. They start to be in season at the end of February up until end of August, which makes them easily accessible! Alphonso mangoes are also a good alternative. If you don't have any available fresh mangoes, you can use frozen or canned.

    Why is Green Tea good for you

    We love using green tea for this recipe but we personally feel like it gives a more refreshing taste. It also has many healthy benefits, such as:

    • Boost brain function since it contains caffeine, although not as strong as coffee,
    • Increases fat burning and boost your metabolic system,
    • Contains antioxidants which are helpful to fight chronic diseases, such as cancer,
    • Help with brain function on the short-term, but the long-term as well, and can protect your brain from neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer and Parkinson
    • And many more!

    Tips to make the best Mango Green Tea

    • Steep your tea at the correct temperature. Your tea should be brewed between 175°F to 185°F to ensure it keeps all it's health benefits. We use this handy water boiler in which we can chose the temperature.
    • Do not steep your tea for too long. I would steep for 3 minutes, or according to the package instruction. If you let it steep for over 5 minutes, the tea will become too bitter.
    • Adjust the amount of honey to your personal taste, and the sweetness of your mangoes.
    • If your tea is too strong, or became too bitter, adjust by putting more honey, it will help balance out the flavors.
    • Let your tea chill in the refrigerator before making your drink.

    FAQ's

    Can I prepare this drink in advance?

    Yes, this drink is easily prepared 1-2 days in advance, but I wouldn't suggest more because of the mangoes.

    • Mint: it's optional but adds an extra freshness to the drink.
