Ingredients
Tea Base
- 3 bags black tea
- 3 cups boiling water
Sweetener
- 1/4 cup sugar
Fruit
- 6 passion fruits (see note)
Instructions
- Steep the Tea: Boil 3 cups of water and pour over 3 black tea bags. Let steep for 3 to 4 minutes to extract a full-bodied tea flavor.
- Dissolve Sugar: Stir in 1/4 cup sugar into the hot tea until fully dissolved, ensuring the tea is evenly sweetened.
- Add Passion Fruit Pulp: Cut 6 passion fruits in half and carefully scoop the pulp directly into the tea, mixing well to distribute the tart and aromatic fruit flavor.
- Serve Chilled: Pour the prepared tea over ice cubes to serve immediately as a refreshing iced beverage.
Notes
- Use ripe passion fruits for the best flavor; the skin should be wrinkled and fragrant.
- Adjust sugar to taste if you prefer a less sweet tea.
- For a more intense tea flavor, steep the tea bags a bit longer but avoid bitterness.
- Optional garnish: Add a slice of lemon or fresh mint leaves for extra zest and aroma.
