Step-by-Step Instructions
- Brew the jasmine green tea. Add jasmine green tea bags or loose leaf tea to hot water and steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the tea before it becomes bitter.
- Sweeten while warm. Stir in honey, agave, or sugar while the tea is still warm so it dissolves smoothly.
- Make the mango puree. Blend fresh or frozen mango with lime or lemon juice until smooth. Add a splash of water or mango nectar if needed.
- Combine the drink. Stir the mango puree into the brewed jasmine tea. Add cold water to lighten the drink and create a refreshing iced tea recipe texture.
- Chill the refresher. Refrigerate until cold, or pour over plenty of ice if serving right away.
- Prepare the glasses. Add ice cubes, mango cubes, mint leaves, and lime slices to tall glasses.
- Pour and finish. Pour the mango jasmine green tea refresher over the ice. Top with sparkling water if you want a fizzy refresher.
- Serve cold. Stir gently and enjoy while the drink is tropical, floral, bright, and refreshing.
Pro Tip: Strain the mango puree if you want a smooth café-style refresher. Leave it unstrained if you prefer a thicker fruitier drink.
Pro Tip: Add sparkling water right before serving so the drink stays bubbly and fresh.
Healthy Tips & Daily Wellness
This mango jasmine green tea refresher is a light and fruity drink that can feel refreshing without being too heavy. Mango brings natural sweetness, jasmine green tea adds floral flavor, and citrus gives the drink a bright finish.
For a lower-sugar version, use ripe mango and skip extra sweetener. If the mango is sweet enough, fresh lime juice and jasmine tea may be all you need.
For a more hydrating tropical drink, replace part of the cold water with coconut water. This gives the refresher a subtle island flavor while keeping it light and refreshing.
If you are sensitive to caffeine, use decaf jasmine green tea or make the drink with a lighter steep. You can also enjoy it earlier in the day as a bright afternoon refresher.
