Ingredients

Scale

Tea Base

  • 4 cups black or green tea, brewed and cooled

Fruit Puree

  • 2 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and blended
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and blended

Sweeteners and Flavor

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

To Serve

  • Ice cubes
  • Optional garnishes: fresh peach or mango slices, mint sprigs, edible flowers
  • Cold water (optional, to dilute if needed)

Instructions

  1. Brew the Tea: Steep your choice of black or green tea in 4 cups of hot water for 5 to 7 minutes to develop a strong but smooth base. Remove the tea bags or leaves and let the tea cool to room temperature.
  2. Prepare the Fruit Puree: Peel, pit, and blend the fresh peaches and mangoes until smooth. For a silkier texture, strain the puree; or leave slightly pulpy for added body.
  3. Mix Tea and Fruit: In a pitcher, combine the cooled tea with the peach mango puree. Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and 2 to 3 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup to taste, blending everything harmoniously. Adjust sweetness as needed.
  4. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to let the flavors marry. Serve over plenty of ice cubes for an icy, refreshing drink. Add optional garnishes such as fruit slices or mint for a decorative touch.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Fruit: Fresh peaches and mangoes enhance flavor and aroma significantly.
  • Don’t Skip Lemon Juice: It brightens the drink and balances sweetness.
  • Sweeten Gradually: Add honey or sweetener bit by bit to avoid over-sweetening.
  • Pre-Chill Your Pitcher: Keep the drink cooler longer by chilling your pitcher before use.
  • Try Cold Brew Tea: For smoother flavor, cold brew tea overnight instead of hot steeping.
