Olive Garden is one of the most famous restaurants in the world, known for its delicious Italian dishes and drinks. One of their signature beverages is the Mango Strawberry Tea – a refreshing tropical drink that will transport you to a paradise like no other.
In a large bowl, mix together the mango and honey until evenly combined. Add in the mint leaves and stir to combine.
Steep your tea bags or loose black tea in two cups of hot water for 5 minutes. Once done, remove the tea from the water and discard the bags. Incorporate this steeped tea into the mango-honey mixture and stir until everything is well blended.
Add the sliced strawberries to the mix and stir until fully incorporated. Transfer this concoction into a large container or pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
When ready to serve, fill each glass with ice cubes then pour the mango strawberry tea over them.
Notes
Add a pinch of cardamom, star anise, or cinnamon to the tea for a subtle flavor.
If using honey, try using different varieties like Manuka honey for additional health benefits.
For an even more refreshing experience, add in some fresh citrus juice such as lime or orange.
To make this tea a bit sweeter, you can add in some coconut sugar or dates.
If using fresh mangoes, make sure to pick ripe ones.
Make sure to always use high-quality black tea for maximum taste and health benefits.
For stronger tea, steep the tea bags or loose black tea for up to 15 minutes.
