There are many ways to enjoy the health benefits of Mangosteen, the very popular "superfruit" that is full of Xanthones, one of the world's most concentrated source of anti-oxidants. Mangosteen tea is one way to experience the healing of Southeast Asia's Queen of Fruits. Many people enjoy the milky white fruit itself, which has a flavor reminiscent of citrus, peach and even vanilla ice cream. However, the greatest concentration of xanthones is in the bright red peel, which is tough and difficult to eat. This part of the fruit can be dried, ground up, and made into Mangosteen tea, which can be drunk anytime. You can brew a cup of mangosteen tea and serve it with honey or sugar after meals, in the morning, and when you want to enjoy a healing and a taste sensation.

Mangosteen tea is a cheaper way of enjoying the benefits of the fruit, since the pulp, actual fruit pieces and juice are quite delicious and effective, but more expensive. Mangosteen tea has the goodness of the fruit without the disadvantage of scarcity and high price. Since the peel is the main part of the tea, mangosteen tea is made from the most antioxidant-rich part of the fruit.

Mangosteen tea can be used to treat many ailments and to improve one's general health. The fruit can help bowel functioning, boost the immune system, aid the circulation, and work as an anti-inflammatory agent which can relieve the pain and discomfort of arthritis and even sinus problems. There is no maximum "dosage" for Mangosteen tea, which can be drunk all day, if desired. Mangosteen tea can be found in a health food store or purchased online from agents who sell mangosteen products. It is possible to make your own Mangosteen tea if you have the fruit and the rind. Simply dry out the ingredients and use them as an infusion. Strain and serve with sugar and honey.
