Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups water
- 4 black tea bags (or green tea bags)
- 1 cup fresh passion fruit juice (about 4–6 passion fruits)
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 lemon, sliced

Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove it from the heat and add the tea bags. Let them steep for about 5 minutes.

- Step 3: Once cooled, add the fresh passion fruit juice to the sweetened tea mixture and stir well to combine.
- Step 4: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the passion fruit iced tea over the ice. Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and a few fresh mint leaves.
- Step 5: Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing passion fruit iced tea!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover passion fruit iced tea in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If you prefer your iced tea warm, simply reheat it gently in a saucepan over low heat, but be careful not to let it boil again.
- For an extra refreshing twist, try adding a splash of sparkling water before serving, and consider garnishing with additional fruit slices or even a sprig of rosemary for a unique flavor profile.
- To enhance the flavor, choose high-quality tea bags and allow them to steep longer if you like a stronger tea; just be cautious not to steep too long to avoid bitterness.
