It’s sweet, tangy, and super simple to make at home.
Perfect for hot days, family get-togethers, or just when you need a little pick-me-up.

Let’s make it! 🍹✨
What You’ll Need
- 4 cups water
- 2 passion fruits (or ½ cup passion fruit pulp)
- 2 black or green tea bags
- 2–3 tbsp honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
- ½ lemon, sliced (optional, for extra tang)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint (for garnish)
Pro Tips
- Tea Choice Matters – Black tea gives a bolder flavor, while green tea makes it lighter and more floral. Try both!
- Sweeten to Taste – Start with less honey/sugar and add more as needed. Passion fruit is naturally tart!
- Strain It or Keep the Seeds? – If you don’t like the crunchy seeds, strain them out before mixing.
- Chill for Best Flavor – Let the tea cool completely before adding ice to avoid dilution.
- 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!
How to Make Passion Fruit Tea
Step 1: Brew the Tea
Boil 4 cups of water, then remove from heat and add the tea bags. Let it steep for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and let cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Passion Fruit
Cut passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp into a bowl. If you don’t like the seeds, strain the juice.
Step 3: Mix Everything Together
In a pitcher, combine the cooled tea, passion fruit pulp (strained or unstrained), and honey. Stir well.
Step 4: Serve Over Ice
Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the passion fruit tea over, and garnish with lemon slices and mint. Enjoy!
Leftovers & Storage
- Store leftover tea in the fridge for up to 2 days in a covered pitcher.
- Give it a good stir before serving, as the pulp may settle.
