What You’ll Need

  • 4 cups water
  • 2 passion fruits (or ½ cup passion fruit pulp)

  • ½ lemon, sliced (optional, for extra tang)
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh mint (for garnish)

Pro Tips

  1. Tea Choice Matters – Black tea gives a bolder flavor, while green tea makes it lighter and more floral. Try both!
  2. Sweeten to Taste – Start with less honey/sugar and add more as needed. Passion fruit is naturally tart!
  3. Strain It or Keep the Seeds? – If you don’t like the crunchy seeds, strain them out before mixing.
  4. Chill for Best Flavor – Let the tea cool completely before adding ice to avoid dilution.
  5. Make It Fizzy – Swap some water for sparkling water for a fun twist!

Tools You’ll Need

  • Medium pot (for brewing tea)
  • Strainer (if removing seeds)
  • Pitcher
  • Spoon for stirring
  • Knife & cutting board

Substitutions & Variations

  • No passion fruit? Use mango or pineapple juice for a similar tropical vibe.
  • No honey? Swap with agave syrup, maple syrup, or simple syrup.
  • Iced Tea Version – Brew a stronger tea, let it cool, then serve over ice.
  • Milk Tea Twist – Add a splash of milk or coconut milk for a creamy version.

Make-Ahead Tips

  • Brew the tea and mix with passion fruit in advance, then store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just add ice before serving!
