Notes
- Use mangoes which are sweet and with a firm pulp. Alphonso mangoes work best in this recipe, but any variety of sweet mangoes will work. Just make sure that the mangoes are not fibrous.
- Instead of black tea you can also make this mango tea with green tea. While steeping green tea, steep for a lesser time or else the tea can become bitter.
- If you prefer you can omit adding sugar. Or opt to add your preferred sweetener.
- You could also add some boba (tapioca pearls) and make mango bubble tea. Prep and cook the boba pearls before you mix them with the tea.
