Ingredients
Tea
- 3 bags black tea
- 3 cups boiling water
Sweetener
- 1/4 cup sugar
Fruit
- 6 passion fruits (see note)
Instructions
- Boil the water: Bring 3 cups of water to a rolling boil using a kettle or stovetop pot to ensure it is hot enough to steep the tea effectively.
- Steep the tea: Place the 3 black tea bags in the boiling water and allow them to steep for 3 to 4 minutes to extract a robust flavor. Remove the tea bags once steeped.
- Dissolve the sugar: While the tea is still hot, stir in 1/4 cup of sugar thoroughly until it is completely dissolved, creating a sweet base for the iced tea.
- Prepare passion fruit pulp: Cut the 6 passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp carefully, removing any seeds if desired for smoother texture.
- Combine and chill: Add the passion fruit pulp directly into the sweetened tea mixture. Allow the tea to cool slightly before refrigerating or serving over ice.
- Serve: Pour the passion fruit iced tea over a glass filled with ice cubes to enjoy a cold and flavorful tropical drink.
Notes
- Fruit substitution: If fresh passion fruit is unavailable, use frozen passion fruit pulp or puree that has been thawed in the refrigerator.
- Make-ahead tip: Brew the tea and chill it in the refrigerator ahead of time. Add the passion fruit pulp just before serving to maintain freshness.
