Description
This iced passion fruit black tea comes together in just 10 minutes with 4 main ingredients and is just as delicious as your order at the tea shop! Brewed black tea is combined with sweet-tart passion fruit nectar and sugar then served over ice. Add some boba if you like or a sprig of mint to make it extra refreshing!
Ingredients
- 2 cups filtered water
- 2 black tea bags, such as English Breakfast or Assam (I like Rishi Tea's English breakfast!)
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 cup passion fruit nectar
- ice
- fresh mint for garnish, optional
Instructions
Add the water to a stock pot. Set the pot over high heat and let the water come to a boil. Once the water begins to boil, remove the pot from the heat and add the tea bags. Steep the tea for 5 minutes, then remove the bags. Add the sugar to the tea and stir it in until it fully dissolves.
Add the passion fruit nectar to the sweetened black tea. At this point, you can chill the tea down in the fridge or the freezer if you like.
To serve, pour the passion fruit black tea over ice and garnish with a sprig of mint.
Notes
- For a caffeine-free version, feel free to use rooibos, mint, or hibiscus tea in place of the black tea.
- Use any sweetener that you like here and adjust the amount to your tastes.
- Leftover tea can be kept in the fridge. Enjoy it within a week for the best flavor.
- Feel free to add your favorite boba to the tea if you like!
- Since you need 1/2 cup of passion fruit nectar, I don’t recommend using individual passion fruits as you will need way too many of them and it will be more costly. If you happen to have a couple of passion fruit, feel free to use some of the pulp as garnish for your tea!
