Directions

Brew the Green Tea
Heat the water to 75–80°C (167–176°F), do not boil. Add the green tea bags and steep for 2–3 minutes maximum. Remove the tea bags without squeezing and let the tea cool to lukewarm.
Make the Light Mango Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine the mango, sugar, and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat and cook for 8–10 minutes, just until the mango softens and releases aroma. Do not reduce or thicken.
Strain the Syrup
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or measuring jug. Do not press the pulp. Discard the solids and let the syrup cool completely.
Infuse the Chili
Add the deseeded chili slices to the warm tea and let infuse for 3–4 minutes only, just until a gentle warmth develops. Remove immediately. This is aroma and structure, not heat.
Sweeten the Tea
Stir 120–160 ml of the cooled mango syrup into the tea. Taste and adjust carefully — mango should be clean and present, never heavy.
Chill
Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until fully cold and integrated.
Serve
Fill glasses with ice, pour over the chilled mango iced green tea, and garnish with fresh mango cubes and optional deseeded chili slices.

*Notes :

Mango must be ripe and aromatic. Bland mango = dead drink.
Chili must be deseeded and short contact only. If it burns, you failed.
Syrup is intentionally light. This is iced tea, not nectar.
Green tea must stay soft and clean — boiling water ruins everything.
Best enjoyed within 24 hours for brightness and balance.
