Mango Cold Brew Tea
Cold brew fresh mango and tea to create this refreshing drink.
Servings: 3 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ tablespoons English breakfast tea (or 3 tea bags/sachets)
- ¾ cup mango muddled
- 3 slices lime thinly sliced
- 3 sprigs thyme
- 3 cups water cold or room temperature
Instructions
- Put tea, muddled mango, lime slices, thyme, and cool or room temperature water in a pitcher or glass container.Use filtered water for a better tasting tea. Stir to make sure the tea leaves touch the water.
- Cover container and put in refrigerator for 12-24 hours.The solids should not be left in the drink more than 24 hours.
- Strain out solids and pour tea into a cup.Since the drink is already chilled, ice is optional. The tea can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- I always recommend using filtered water for the best tasting tea.
- Thoroughly wash the mango, lime, and thyme to remove dirt and bacteria. Rinse under cold running water and rub with your hands. Don’t use dish soap.
- Make sure you take it out all solids after 24 hours. Leaving any solids in the cold brew tea can accelerate bacterial growth.
- Fruit-infused cold brew is best when consumed in 3 days after straining the solids since there is increased risk of bacterial growth. From the day you put the cold brew tea and fruit into the refrigerator to the day you have your last sip, it should be 4 days total.
