Ingredients
Scale
Tea Base
- 4 cups (946 ml) water, preferably filtered or bottled for best flavor
- 2 Tazo Iced Passion Tea Bags (hibiscus, lemongrass, apple blend)
Drink Mix
- 4 cups (946 ml) lemonade (choose based on sweetness preference)
- Lemon slices, fresh, for garnish
Instructions
- Boil Water: Bring 4 cups (946 ml) of water to a rolling boil using a stovetop or an electric kettle. Ensure water reaches a full boil to fully extract tea flavors.
- Steep Tea: Place 2 Tazo Iced Passion Tea Bags in a heatproof pitcher. Carefully pour the boiling water over the tea bags. Let steep for 5 to 10 minutes, tasting around 8 minutes to achieve your preferred tea strength.
- Remove Tea Bags: Gently remove the tea bags without squeezing them to avoid introducing bitterness, ensuring the tea remains smooth and flavorful.
- Combine with Lemonade: Pour 4 cups (946 ml) of lemonade into the pitcher with the brewed tea. Stir thoroughly to blend, creating the characteristic tart-sweet balance of passion tea lemonade.
- Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the tea lemonade mixture over the ice. Garnish with fresh lemon slices if desired. Serve immediately for the best, most refreshing flavor.
Notes
- Adjust the steeping time to your taste preference: less time for lighter flavor, more time for stronger tea.
- Use your preferred lemonade for controlling sweetness, or use a low-sugar alternative for a healthier option.
- For added freshness, garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves or additional citrus slices.
- This drink is best consumed right after preparation to enjoy optimal flavor and chill.
