Oolong Mango Iced Tea

May 8, 2015 by theleafycauldron

The time for iced tea is upon us!  I’m not sure why, but I’m really big on oolong tea right now and, of course, The Leafy Cauldron is always big on mangos! Throw in a little lemon and lime and everyone’s happy and hydrated.

Oolong Mango Iced TeaI have a giant canister of something called Citron Oolong, but feel free to use your own preferred oolong, so long as it doesn’t have clashing flavours. Something mild, citrusy or even floral will be lovely in this recipe. I’m not going to lie, tequila is delicious in this, but totally not necessary.

Ice and frozen mango chunks, to the top of the pitcher and in the serving glasses
Pineapple chunks, optional

Add the mango simple syrup, lemon and lime juice, ice, frozen mango and pineapple to a pitcher. Pour the tea over the top. Cover and refrigerate until ready to drink. Garnish as desired. For the coldest drink, shake with ice before serving.

About

We here at The Leafy Cauldron believe food should be life affirming. We can do better! Started in 2011 as passion project to share a love of Harry Potter and vegan food, we've now branched out to focus on fun, fresh and innovative recipes that also happen to be allergy-friendly with zero compromise when it comes to taste and texture.

Dissatisfied with some common attitudes in vegan cooking, we decided to start a log of our own kitchen adventures. You’ll find fun and fresh recipes here presented in a to-the-point fashion. I promise to never, ever use the words “real food”.

If you're dealing with allergies and you're hoping to find a familiar recipe, let us know on Facebook and we'll try to help you out!
