Directions

  1. Blend the Mango
    Add the cubed mango to a blender with ½ cup water and the honey.
    Blend until completely smooth and set aside.
  2. Brew the Green Tea
    Bring the remaining 2½ cups water to a boil.
    Remove from heat, add the green tea bags, and steep for 8–10 minutes.
    Squeeze the tea bags well, discard them, and let the tea cool completely.
  3. Combine Mango & Tea
    Stir the cooled green tea together with the mango puree until evenly combined.
    Chill while preparing the lemonade.
  4. Make the Lemon Syrup
    In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and ½ cup water.
    Bring to a boil, stirring until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  5. Juice the Lemons
    Roll the lemons firmly on the counter, then juice until you have about
    ¾ cup fresh lemon juice, keeping the pulp but removing seeds.
  6. Finish the Lemonade
    In a pitcher, combine the lemon juice, sugar syrup, and 2 cups ice-cold water. Stir well.
  7. Assemble the Drink
    Fill glasses halfway with ice.
    Pour mango green tea to halfway up the glass, then top with lemonade.
  8. Garnish & Serve
    Garnish with fresh mint and a mango wedge if desired. Serve immediately.

*Notes

  • Use fully ripe mango for natural sweetness — underripe mango will taste flat.
  • Do not over-steep the green tea or it will become bitter.
  • For a lighter version, reduce sugar to ¼ cup.
  • Chill at least 30 minutes for best flavor integration.
  • Optional upgrade: add sparkling water instead of still lemonade for a fizzy version.
