Mango iced tea recipe – a refreshing summer tea with flavors of mangoes and tea. Each sip of mango ice tea not only brings relief from summer Heat but it is a healthy drink too… Provided you use natural fruits or flavors to make it.
Tea is one beverage that we Indians love. I cannot imagine starting my day without sipping a cup of hot Ginger tea and I guess that is the case with many of you too. Tea is more popular in India as compared to Coffee. in India, chai is prepared using milk, ginger and spices….. And it is one breakfast beverage for many of us.
India is known for its four seasons and unfortunately one of the season is not the best time to have a hot cup of tea. sometimes it becomes difficult to enjoy hot tea in Indian summers and thats where ice tea comes to your rescue.
You can choose your own flavor for making ice tea like you can go for peach, rose, lemon, apple, hibiscus, raspberry or any other flavor of your liking. I usually make Lemon iced tea or mint or tulsi iced tea.
Since there were a lot of mangoes at home, I decided to make this mango iced tea. Now If you like mangoes and tea, then do make this awesome combination of iced tea. you will love it. Make a large jar and keep in the fridge and have the mango iced tea when you want to sip something cool.
I used fresh Alphonso mangoes for making the mango pulp. black tea has gone into making the tea brew. The tea just needs to be steeped in hot water and later chilled. Add sugar or sweetener of your choice and the tea is ready.
Making iced tea is very easy and the only difference in preparing most iced tea versions is the flavor we add in the end.

I will try this recipe during the mango season.
Can green tea bags/leaves be used to make iced tea?
Please share the recipes of other iced teas like strawberry iced tea and also lemon iced tea,mint and tulsi iced tea you have mentioned. Thank you so much.
Thanks Beena. I don’t know how the taste of mango and green tea will be. I will try to add these recipes.
For making Lemon Iced Tea can I use 3 cups of water and 2 black tea bags?
What is the quantity of lemons required for it?Would the procedure remain the same?
Thank you so much.
you can use this proportion. it will be a lightly infused tea. for preparing lemon tea, heat water till it reaches boiling point. add sugar and let it dissolve. switch off the flame and add the tea bags. let it infuse for some minutes or depending on how strong you want the tea. then add lemon juice. the quantity depends on how much tang you want in the tea. so you can add 1 to 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. then cool the tea and serve later. the method i am sharing is a simple straightforward method. there are other method as well to prepare lemon iced tea.
Thank you so much for your reply.
I made Lemon Iced Tea. It was really good.It was such a relief to drink it in this hot season.The best part is that I used fresh lemon juice to make it. Earlier I have made Lemon Tea using normal tea leaves which is served hot.Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I have been searching for Iced Tea recipes for long.I have had Iced Tea from Mad Over Donuts and they made it by using ready made powder,tap water and some ice cubes.
So basically,black tea is used or making Iced Tea and normal tea leaves is used for making hot tea?
welcome beena. lemon tea or for that matter any ice tea is refreshing. in fact i have been thinking of making a video, but gets postponed due to something or the other. ready made tea powder can also be used. one can use tea powder, black tea or tea leaves to make ice tea. tea leaves will give a nice light flavor of the tea. with tea powder one has not to steep it too much as then the tea will become strong. you can even use green tea or kashmiri tea powder/leaves. the kashmiri one is very good as it has spices like cardamom also in it.
Seriously? Black tea and mangoes, what a brilliant combination. Two things I love and sure they go well together. Can’t wait for mango season.
Looks fab, loved the pics …..
