Raw Mango Iced Tea or Aam Panna Iced Tea

Raw Mango Iced Tea or Aam Panna Iced Tea

When fusion is everywhere then why not in iced tea. The other day I saw raw mangoes in the supermarket and picked up two; one for Aam Panna and the other to make my favourite mango rice. I left them in the fridge as I fell ill. Today, I trudged to the kitchen and I made Aam Panna. But I felt like having cold tea and I clubbed both to get this awesome tasting Raw Mango Iced Tea or Aam Panna Iced Tea.

Aam Panna

Aam Panna is ideal to guard you against a sun-stroke. Make the puree and refrigerate it and whenever you are thirsty, add some chilled water and ice and your Aam Panna is ready. It is a very refreshing summer cooler made from boiled raw mango. Aam Panna is easy to make; Blend mango pulp along with the salt, black salt, sugar, mint leaves and cumin powder water to a smooth paste. Some people may strain the pulp through a colander but I do not like to do that. Check the recipe here- Aam Panna or Raw Mango Drink

How to make Iced Tea at home

This is how I make Iced tea at home; Heat 2 cups of water in a pan for 2 to 3 minutes until hot. Add 1 tsp tea powder or 1 tea bag and turn off the flame after 30 seconds. Cover the pan and let the tea steep into the water. Strain the tea after 2 minutes and let it cool. If you want a nice mint flavour then add a few mint leaves to the tea and keep it in the fridge for a couple of hours

Method

To make the iced tea take a glass and pour the Aam Panna first.

Then add the tea decoction and finally pile on the ice.

Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and serve Raw Mango Iced Tea

I will keep adding other flavours so keep watching this space.
