Boil water and sugar in a saucepan. Turn off the heat once sugar is dissolved.
Add the black tea leaves or the tea bags. Cover the pan with a lid. Steep the tea for 3 - 5 minutes depending on your desired strength. The longer the steeping time, the stronger the tea flavour will be.
Filter the tea in a jar, and discard the leaves. Allow the brewed tea to cool down. Keep in the refrigerator for 1 - 2 hours.
Once iced tea is chilled, add mango puree and stir well to ensure they’re thoroughly mixed.
For a tangy twist, add 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the pitcher. This adds a refreshing citrus note that complements the mango flavour beautifully.
For serving, add ice cubes and mint leaves in each glass. Pour chilled mango iced tea and serve.

I prefer using Indian milk tea leaves or black tea for making iced tea decoction. You can use green tea leaves or Earl Grey tea leaves as well.
You can blend fresh mango pulp or use canned mango puree to flavour the iced tea. Make sure the mango puree is sweet and not sour in taste.
You can add a variety of fruit flavours to the iced tea.
Do not steep or boil tea for too long in the water else iced tea decoction will taste bitter.
You can refrigerate mango iced tea for 1 - 2 days but it starts changing colour and taste.
