Ingredients
Tea Base
- 3 cups water, divided
- 3 black tea bags
Sweetener
- 1/4 cup vegan granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
Fruit
- 3/4 cup passion fruit pulp (from about 4-5 fruits)
Serving
- Ice
- Mint sprig, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Boil Water and Steep Tea: Bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a pot or kettle, then remove from heat. Immediately add the 3 black tea bags to the hot water and let them steep for 3-4 minutes to extract a rich, robust flavor.
- Sweeten the Tea: Remove the tea bags carefully, then add 1/4 cup of vegan granulated sugar to the hot tea. Whisk thoroughly until the sugar is fully dissolved, ensuring a smooth, sweet base.
- Cool the Tea and Add Passion Fruit: Pour in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of room-temperature water to cool the tea down. Stir in the 3/4 cup of passion fruit pulp, mixing well to combine the tangy tropical flavor throughout the tea.
- Serve with Ice and Garnish: Fill serving glasses with ice cubes, pour the passion fruit tea over the ice to chill it immediately, and optionally garnish each glass with a fresh mint sprig for an aromatic finishing touch. Serve immediately for best freshness.
Notes
- Adjust the sugar amount to your preferred sweetness level.
- For a stronger tea flavor, steep the tea bags a little longer but avoid over-steeping to prevent bitterness.
- Fresh passion fruit pulp can be substituted with store-bought passion fruit puree if fresh fruit is unavailable.
- Garnishing with mint is optional but adds a refreshing aroma and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best taste and freshness.
