Instructions

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then steep black tea bags in it for 4–5 minutes. Remove tea bags and let cool slightly.
In a blender, combine diced mango, honey (or sugar), and lemon juice. Blend until smooth to make mango purée.
Pour cooled tea and mango purée into a pitcher. Add 2 cups cold water and stir well. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon if desired.
Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or serve immediately over plenty of ice.
Garnish with fresh mint or mango slices before serving.

Notes

Use bottled mango juice in place of fresh mango if unavailable—reduce added sweetener accordingly.
Make a grown-up version by adding 1 oz of rum or vodka per glass after chilling.
Freeze leftover tea into ice cubes to avoid dilution in future drinks.
Swap black tea for green or white tea for a lighter version.
