1
Boil water
Bring 3 cups water to a simmer in a small saucepan or kettle.
2
Steep tea
Pour the hot water over the green tea bags (or loose leaf in an infuser) in a heatproof container. Steep 3 minutes for light, fresh green-tea flavor (up to 4 minutes if you prefer stronger). Avoid oversteeping to prevent bitterness.
3
Sweeten and cool
Remove tea bags or strain leaves. While the tea is still warm, stir in 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or honey) until dissolved. Let the sweetened tea cool to room temperature (about 15–20 minutes) or chill in the refrigerator for faster cooling.

4
Prepare mango
Peel and dice ripe mango (or use frozen mango chunks thawed). Measure about 1 cup of mango flesh.
5
Blend
In a blender or food processor, combine the mango flesh, 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, and 2 tablespoons cold water. Purée until completely smooth. Taste and add up to 1 teaspoon more lime juice if you want brighter acidity.
6
Adjust sweetness/texture
If the purée is very thick, add 1–2 tablespoons additional cold water to reach a spoonable but pourable consistency. If you prefer a sweeter drink and used less sugar in the tea, stir in up to 1 teaspoon sugar or honey into the purée.

7
Combine
Fill two serving glasses with ice (divide 1 cup ice between them). Pour half of the cooled sweetened green tea into each glass, leaving room for mango purée.
8
Add mango purée
Spoon or pour 1/4 cup mango purée into each glass (about half of the purée per glass). For a layered look, pour the tea slowly over the back of a spoon. Stir gently to combine if you prefer a uniform color.
9
Garnish and serve
Garnish each glass with 3 mint leaves and a mango slice on the rim if desired. Serve immediately with a straw so the drink can be shaken or stirred before drinking.
