Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 4 bags passion tea
- 1 cup lemonade
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by boiling 4 cups of water in a medium-sized pot or kettle. Make sure the water reaches a rolling boil for optimal steeping of the tea.
- Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add 4 bags of passion tea to the water. Allow the tea to steep for about 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer the flavor.
- After the tea has steeped, carefully remove the tea bags and discard them. Let the tea cool to room temperature. You can speed up this process by placing the tea in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
- While the tea is cooling, prepare your lemonade. If you are using store-bought lemonade, measure out 1 cup. If you are making homemade lemonade, combine fresh lemon juice, water, and sugar to taste.
- Once the tea has cooled, combine the cooled passion tea with the 1 cup of lemonade in a large pitcher. Stir gently to mix the two beverages together.
- To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the passion tea lemonade mixture over the ice, filling each glass to your desired level.
- Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon for an added touch of freshness and visual appeal.
- Enjoy your homemade Copycat Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade as a refreshing beverage any time of the day!
Tips
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter drink, consider adding a splash of simple syrup or a sweetener of your choice to the tea before mixing it with the lemonade.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to experiment by adding other flavors like mint or berries for a fruity twist. You can muddle some fresh fruit in the glass before pouring in the tea lemonade mixture.
- Chill for Extra Refreshment: For an even cooler drink, freeze some lemonade in ice cube trays and use these lemonade ice cubes instead of regular ice cubes. This way, your drink won’t get watered down!
- Make It Ahead of Time: You can prepare the passion tea in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just mix it with lemonade when you're ready to serve.
- Garnish Creatively: Enhance the visual appeal of your drink by adding fresh herbs like mint or basil alongside the lemon slices for a pop of color and flavor.
