5. Add 2 cups cold water and 1 cup ice cubes.

Stir to chill and dilute to taste.

6. Add half of the mint leaves to the pitcher, muddling gently to release flavor.

8. To serve, pour over additional ice cubes in glasses, garnish with mango/peach slices and fresh mint leaves.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To achieve maximum flavor, use ripe, juicy mangoes and peaches. Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or agave syrup according to your preference. For a smoother texture, don't skip straining the purée. Muddling the mint gently helps release its aroma without bitterness.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Swap black tea for green tea to lighten the flavor profile. For a sparkling twist, replace part of the cold water with sparkling water just before serving. For a sugar-free version, use stevia instead of honey or agave syrup, and add a splash of lime juice for extra zest.
