Chef tips
For a stronger flavor, chill the tea infusion for 10 minutes before blending. If you prefer a lighter texture, add 100 to 150 ml more cold water.
Substitutions
You can replace the honey with agave syrup for a vegan version. Mango can be swapped for ripe peach or papaya, and mint can be replaced with young basil for a different flavor profile.
