Pro Tips

  1. Chill the tea – Brew your Passion Tea ahead of time and let it cool in the fridge for the best flavor.
  2. Adjust sweetness – Add more or less simple syrup depending on how sweet you like your drink.
  3. Use fresh strawberries – If you don’t have freeze-dried ones, fresh strawberries work great too!
  4. Coconut milk matters – Full-fat coconut milk makes it extra creamy, but you can use light coconut milk if you prefer.
  5. Make it dairy-free – This drink is naturally dairy-free, but you can swap coconut milk for almond or oat milk if you like.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Brew the Passion Tea

Boil water and steep Tazo Passion Tea for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely in the fridge.

Substitutions & Variations

  • No Passion Tea? Use hibiscus tea or berry-flavored herbal tea.
  • No white grape juice? Try apple juice or cranberry juice for a different taste.
  • Want it creamier? Add more coconut milk.
  • Prefer it less sweet? Skip the simple syrup or use a sugar-free alternative.

Make Ahead Tips

  • Brew the tea in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Pre-mix everything except ice and keep it chilled until ready to serve.

Leftovers & Storage

This drink is best fresh, but you can keep it in the fridge for a few hours. The ice will melt, so you might need to add more before serving.
