5 Mango Drink Recipes You Need To Try This Summer 

1. Mango Iced Tea

Mango iced tea is incredibly refreshing. The tropical notes of mango complement the earthy flavours of tea perfectly. Brew 1-2 cups of black tea and let it cool completely. In a blender, add chopped mangoes, 1-2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and plenty of ice cubes. Blend everything together into a smooth puree. Sieve the mixture and pour this mango puree into the brewed tea. Blend once again and serve this drink in a tall glass filled with ice cubes. Garnish with mint leaves before serving. This is definitely one of the best mango drink recipes! 

2. Mango Coconut Water Drink

This mango drink recipe is a great alternative to your regular mango shake. Add chopped mangoes to a blender along with fresh coconut water.

This mango drink tastes refreshing without feeling too heavy. Plus, the natural sweetness of mango pairs really well with the freshness of coconut water. You will definitely find yourself making this one every day. And it is super healthy too!
