Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 mango, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup green tea, brewed and cooled
- 1/2 cup lemonade
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the green tea. Brew 1 cup of green tea according to the package instructions. Once brewed, allow it to cool to room temperature. You can speed up the cooling process by placing it in the refrigerator.
- While the tea is cooling, take a ripe mango, peel it, and chop it into small pieces. Make sure to remove the pit and any tough fibers for a smooth texture.
- In a blender, combine the chopped mango, cooled green tea, lemonade, and honey. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend for a shorter time.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more honey, depending on your preference.
- Once blended, pour the Mango Green Tea Lemonade into a glass. You can serve it over ice for a refreshing drink.
- Garnish your drink with a slice of lemon or a few pieces of mango on top for an appealing presentation.
- Enjoy your delicious and refreshing Mango Green Tea Lemonade!
Tips
- Choose a ripe, sweet mango for the best flavor intensity. The riper the mango, the more natural sweetness you'll get.
- Use high-quality green tea - loose leaf or a premium tea bag will make a significant difference in the overall taste.
- For an extra cool drink, freeze some mango chunks to use as ice cubes instead of regular ice. This prevents dilution and adds more mango flavor.
- If you want a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any mango fibers.
- Experiment with honey varieties like wildflower or orange blossom honey to add unique subtle flavor notes.
- For a low-sugar version, substitute honey with stevia or use less honey and add more lemonade.
- Prep your ingredients in advance and keep them chilled for a quick, refreshing drink anytime!
