Ingredients
Units
- 4 tea bags (black or green)
- 3 cups boiling water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup passionfruit pulp
Instructions
- Place the tea bags (or tea leaves in an infuser) in a pitcher, add the boiling water and the sugar, stir and allow to steep for 3-7 minutes. Take into account if you like a stronger or weaker tea flavor.
- Remove the tea bags and add the pulp from the passionfruit to the pitcher.
- Stir to combine and check sweetness and passionfruit flavor. Add more sugar and/or passion fruit juice or pulp if needed and stir well to dissolve.Â
- Serve in tall glasses over ice with fresh slices of lemon.
Notes
- How to choose passionfruit:
Wrinkled skin: this indicates ripeness.
Color: the skin should be slightly purple or yellow, depending on the variety.
Softness: avoid passion fruits that are too hard or have green skin, as they may not be fully ripe and won't provide the desired flavor. - Using tea leaves: use a mesh to steep the tea. I like mesh tea balls or tea infusers. The time is similar to using tea bags.Â
