Notes
- Thoroughly wash the mango, lemon, and basil before peeling or cutting to remove dirt and bacteria by rinsing everything under cold running water while rubbing with your hands. Don’t use dish soap.
- I always recommend using filtered water to make tea because better water makes better tea.
- Ripe mango is going to create the sweetest mango flavor.
