Ingredients

Scale

Tea Base

  • 3 bags black tea
  • 3 cups boiling water
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Fruit

  • 6 passion fruits, halved

Instructions

  1. Steep the Tea: Boil 3 cups of water and pour over the 3 black tea bags. Let the tea steep for 3 to 4 minutes to extract full flavor, then remove the tea bags.
  2. Dissolve the Sugar: Stir in 1/4 cup of sugar into the hot tea until it is fully dissolved, ensuring a balanced sweetness throughout.
  3. Add Passion Fruit Pulp: Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop the pulp directly into the sweetened tea, mixing well to infuse the tropical flavor.
  4. Serve Over Ice: Pour the passion fruit iced tea into glasses filled with ice cubes and serve immediately for a cool and refreshing beverage.

Notes

  • Use ripe passion fruits for best flavor; they should feel heavy and have wrinkled skin.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to taste or substitute with a natural sweetener if preferred.
  • For a more intense passion fruit flavor, allow the pulp to infuse in the tea for an additional 10 minutes before serving.
  • This iced tea can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; stir well before serving.
