- 1 large Fresh mango
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 8 leaves Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Directions
Step 1
Boil the water in a medium-sized pot. Once it reaches a boil, remove from heat and add the black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for 4 minutes, or longer for a stronger flavor.

While the tea is steeping, peel the fresh mango and cut it into small chunks. Blend the mango chunks in a blender until smooth to create a mango puree. Set aside.
Step 3
Remove the tea bags from the pot and allow the tea to cool for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Once cooled, pour the tea into a large pitcher. Add the black currant syrup and mango puree, stirring well to combine.
Step 5
Taste the tea and, if desired, mix in the honey for added sweetness.
Step 6
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the black currant mango iced tea over the ice.
Step 7
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon. Serve immediately and enjoy!
