Dried Mango Strips for Tea Infusions
Dried mango strips are one of the most versatile and flavourful ingredients you can add to an iced tea, and they're far more useful than most people realise. Steeped directly in cold water alongside your tea leaves, they release a concentrated, intensely tropical mango flavour that infuses the brew with natural sweetness and a bright, fruity character that fresh mango can't quite match — the drying process concentrates the sugars and flavour compounds, making dried mango a more potent flavour addition than fresh. They work particularly well with green tea, white tea, and rooibos, where the mango's sweetness complements the tea's natural character without overwhelming it. They're also excellent in a cold brew blend with dried pineapple and coconut for a full tropical iced tea, or paired with chilli flakes and lime for a sweet-heat combination that's genuinely exciting. After steeping, the rehydrated mango strips can be eaten as a snack or used as a garnish. Look for unsweetened, unsulphured varieties for the cleanest flavour.
