Ingredients & Substitutions
Using fresh mango is key here, but if you can't find ripe ones, frozen mango works in a pinch. The chili adds just the right kick, but feel free to adjust the amount based on your spice preference. If you're not a fan of green tea, black tea can work as well, just note it might change the flavor a bit.
