Black Tea Mango Dragonfruit Drink
A delightful refreshing combination of Earl Grey Black Tea with fresh mango, dragonfruit and a splash of ginger with mint. This is a relatively low calorie drink that is perfect during the spring and summer, but I do make it year round as long as I can gather fresh mango and dragonfruit.
