2. How to make mango passion fruit tea with aloe vera topping
2.1. Step 1: Preparing the mangoes and passion fruit
First, peel both types of mangoes carefully and rinse them thoroughly under clean water to remove any remaining dirt. Next, cut the mango flesh into bite-sized cubes, making sure to separate the semi-ripe mango and the fully ripe mango into two different bowls.
Wash the passion fruits, cut them in half, then use a spoon to scoop out the pulp.
Place all the fully ripe mango cubes into a blender and add a small amount of water to help the blending process. Blend the mixture gently until the mango is completely smooth and reaches a thick, uniform consistency.
GC Food shares a tip for choosing good-quality mangoes: When purchasing mangoes, select large fruits that feel heavy for their size, with smooth, glossy skin and an even color. You should avoid mangoes that look shriveled, show signs of bruising, or display damage caused by pests.
2.2. Step 2: Preparing the mango passion fruit mixture
Add the semi-ripe mango cubes, the blended mango, and the passion fruit pulp into a large mixing bowl. Then add an appropriate amount of sugar based on personal preference and stir the mixture thoroughly until well combined.
Let the mixture rest for three to four hours at room temperature so the sugar dissolves completely and the mango absorbs the flavor. Afterward, transfer the mixture into a jar and store it in the refrigerator for later use.
2.3. Step 3: Brewing the mango passion fruit tea
Heat water to about 90°C, then steep the tea bags or loose-leaf tea for two to three minutes to achieve a rich aroma and flavor. After brewing, carefully strain the tea through a strainer to remove any residue, ensuring a clear, smooth concentrate suitable for mixing.
Prepare a shaker, pour in the brewed tea, then add sugar and lemon or calamansi juice. Adjust the quantities to achieve a balanced sweet and sour taste. Close the lid securely and shake the mixture thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved and evenly blended.
Next, add several ice cubes together with the mango mixture prepared in Step 2 into the shaker. Shake once more to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed and well combined. Pour the mango passion fruit tea into a serving glass, and add extra ice if desired for a more refreshing finish. Finally, top the drink with the marinated mango passion fruit mixture and aloe vera to complete the beverage.
