Yummy refreshing drinks are made for summer and Mango Iced Tea is one of them. Apart from the beautiful color, it certainly adds essential vitamins and minerals to your life. I know I sound super cheesy but iced tea is the business. Once the sun comes out, all I want is some refreshing iced tea. I decided to add some of my favorite fruits to my iced tea drink. I would be starting a new iced tea series and posting iced tea recipes after every recipe till I conclude my series. This summer, shine at your friend’s barbecues or parties with these simple iced tea recipes. They would thank you for it. You can also replace mango with any other fruit of your choice to make some delicious recipes. I would stay with fruits that are already naturally refreshing to eat and also make for great juices.
