Ingredients

- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- 1
Brew your black tea according to package directions, ensuring it's strong, and allow it to cool completely in the refrigerator. This step can be done ahead of time, taking about 5 minutes to brew and at least 30 minutes to chill.

In the pitcher of a high-speed blender, combine the chilled brewed black tea, frozen mango chunks, and your chosen liquid. Add the optional honey or maple syrup now if you prefer a sweeter beverage.

Add the ice cubes to the blender pitcher. Secure the lid tightly and blend on high speed for approximately 60 to 90 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and has a uniform, slushy consistency. Listen for the blender to process all the ice and fruit into a creamy texture.

Tips & Notes
- Warm milk (not hot) is key for yeast-based recipes — aim for 105–115°F to activate yeast without killing it.
- Coconut milk separates in the can — stir or shake well before using.
- Honey is sweeter than sugar — if substituting, use 3/4 cup honey per 1 cup sugar and reduce liquid by 1/4 cup.
