- Ice cubes
- Lemon or lime slices (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
- Brew the Tea:
Boil 4 cups of water and pour it over the tea bags (or loose leaf tea in a tea infuser). Let the tea steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength. - Sweeten the Tea (Optional):
Remove the tea bags and stir in honey or sweetener of choice while the tea is still warm. Adjust the sweetness to taste. - Chill the Tea:
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 1 hour or until fully chilled. - Prepare the Passion Fruit:
Cut open the passion fruits and scoop out the pulp. If you’re using store-bought passion fruit juice, measure out 1/4 cup. - Assemble the Drink:
Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the chilled tea over the ice, then add the fresh passion fruit pulp (or juice). Stir well to combine. - Serve and Garnish:
Garnish with lemon or lime slices and a sprig of fresh mint for an extra touch of freshness. - Enjoy:
Sip and enjoy this refreshing, fruity iced passion fruit tea anytime you need a cool, tropical escape!
Notes
- For a more intense passion fruit flavor, you can add extra pulp or juice.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking – passion fruit itself is naturally tangy, so a little sweetness goes a long way.
- This tea can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
