Ingredients in Mango Green Tea

You don’t need much to make mango green tea. Since the mango green tea recipe is only made with 4 main ingredients, we recommend using the highest quality ingredients possible.

Read a little about each ingredient and you will see why you want to get the best of the best!

• Green Tea Bags- Use your favorite brand of green tea bags. Any brand of green tea will work. Try using loose leaf tea which can be more powerful than pre-bagged teas.
• Water- Filtered water always works best to make tea. Filtered water has less impurities which means the tea will have a cleaner, more pure taste.
• Mango- Use ripe, fresh mango for the most flavor. The riper the mango, the more juicy and flavorful it will be. Frozen mango can be used in a pinch but fresh mango will definitely be tastier.
• Honey- A little honey makes the tea have a delicious sweetness. Honey is a natural sweetener with a rich, complex taste. It is the best way to liven up the mango green tea. You can skip the honey if you want a less sweet drink. A really ripe mango may be all the sweetness you need
• Mint- Fresh mint is a pretty garnish for the iced mango green tea. A little mint flavor will taste good too. It is a very easy way to brighten up your cup!

Fresh, high quality ingredients are key to making this green mango tea really great. Since there are not a lot of ingredients, each one will really stand out!

How To Tell if a Mango is Ripe

Choosing a ripe mango is essential to making a good tea. Ripe mangos are very juicy and naturally sweet. An unripe mango can be hard, taste starchy and be quite dry. Here are a few tips to help you pick a ripe, tasty mango.

1. Smell the mango- a ripe mango will smell sweet and strong. Sniff the mango near the stem where it will smell the strongest.
2.  Squeeze the mango- A ripe mango will give a little when squeezed. Mangos should not be hard like rocks but slightly tender and soft. Press your finger gently into the side of the mango and your should see a finger imprint. This indicates that the inside of the mango is juicy and ripe.
3. Ignore the color- Many people think a mango needs to turn reddish to be ripe. However, mangos can be orange, red or even green and still be ripe. When it comes to mangoes, color does not indicate ripeness.

Make a mango ripen faster by putting it in a paper bag, closing the top and then leaving it for a full day at room temperature. The ethylene gas produced by the mango will be trapped in the bag and ripen the fruit quickly.

You will have a perfect mango, ready to make into tea in no time!
