Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 4 black tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose leaf tea)
- 1/2 cup passion fruit juice (fresh or bottled)
- 2 tablespoons honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices or mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Brew the tea: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the tea bags (or loose leaf tea in a tea infuser). Let the tea steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. After steeping, remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool to room temperature, or refrigerate to speed up the process.
-
Mix in the passion fruit: Once the tea is cool, stir in the passion fruit juice. You can adjust the amount of juice depending on how fruity and tangy you want the tea to be.
-
Sweeten the tea: Add honey or sugar to taste. Stir well until fully dissolved. You can also adjust the sweetness depending on your preference.
-
Serve over ice: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the iced passion fruit tea over the ice.
-
Garnish and enjoy: Optionally, garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for an extra burst of freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can brew the tea for a few extra minutes or add more passion fruit juice.
- For a lighter version, try using green tea instead of black tea for a more delicate flavor.
- You can easily make this drink in large batches by multiplying the ingredients and storing it in the refrigerator.
- If fresh passion fruit is available, you can scoop out the pulp and blend it into the tea for a more natural and flavorful option.
