Ingredients
Tea Base
- 4 tea bags (black or green)
- 3 cups boiling water
Sweetener
- ⅓ cup sugar
Fruit Flavor
- ½ cup passionfruit pulp
Instructions
- Brew the Tea: Place the 4 tea bags into 3 cups of boiling water. Allow them to steep for 5 to 7 minutes until the tea is strong and aromatic.
- Sweeten the Tea: Remove the tea bags and stir in ⅓ cup of sugar while the tea is still hot, ensuring it dissolves completely.
- Cool the Tea: Let the sweetened tea come to room temperature, then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 1 to 2 hours.
- Add Passionfruit: Once the tea is chilled, stir in ½ cup of passionfruit pulp to infuse a tropical, tangy flavor.
- Serve: Pour the passion fruit iced tea over ice cubes for a refreshing drink. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint or slices of passionfruit.

- You can adjust the sugar quantity to your taste or substitute with honey or a sugar alternative.
- For a sparkling twist, top the iced tea with a splash of soda water before serving.
- The tea can be made with either black or green tea bags based on your preference.
