Mangoes have been named as the most widely consumed fruit in the world. The King of Fruits, mangoes are eaten ripen as dessert in different forms whereas unripe mango is consumed in the form of chutneys, pickles or as sour and sweet combo of flavoring agent. As the summer is here so the markets can be seen flourishing with this seasonal fruit, Mango which is the national fruit of India. These have a range of possible health benefits as :
- Keeps eyes healthy
- Improves the skin
- Lowers Cholesterol
- Controls diabetes
- Helps in digestion
- Prevents Cancer
- Strengthens the immune system
- Maintains alkalinity in the body
- Helps to Lose weight
One can go for any fruity / spice flavored iced tea. Here I have prepared with both fruity as well as spice. Only the time taking part here in the iced tea is the steeping time. Otherwise the whole process is super simple and easy to prepare. I love to make mango pulp at home instead of taking from market and before adding to the iced tea I always strain to get rid of any strands while sipping the iced tea. So refreshing summer cold beverage is this and also perfectly fit for summer party drinks.

ReplyDeleteThis looks so refreshing with the king of fruits!! I make iced teas with peaches, raspberries and strawberries, never thought of using mango in it.. Shall surely try with our favourite fruit.. Mango!!
ReplyDeleteLovely cooling drink and healthy too. I usually make it when the mango season begins in Kenya. I've made it using normal tea but have to try it with green tea. Good way to get hubby to enjoy the benefits of green tea without him complaining as it will be masked by the mango.
