Lately, I can’t get enough of a certain passion tea lemonade.
The one a certain coffee house has on their menu. It is the perfect sweetness and it keeps me off of my soda habit. I guess I felt like I was doing myself a favor, I need so many purchases to maintain my “gold card” status! So, I was doing two things at once, multitasking (at least in my head that made sense). This habit was getting kind of expensive. So, I decided while I was scouring pinterest one evening, I would look it up, someone out there must have a copy-cat recipe, and sure enough there are several, and all very different.
So here is my version~
Ingredients
4 Tazo Passion tea bags
Lemonade
9 cups boiling water
1 cup sugar
Boil 8 cups of water in a large pan and 1 cup of water in a small pan. Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat on both. Place 4 tea bags into the large pan and 1 cup of sugar in the small pan. Let the tea bags steep while you stir the sugar in the small pan to dissolve. Place sugar and water mixture (simple syrup) into a glass jar and place in the fridge to cool and become syrup. When the tea has cooled pour into a pitcher and place in fridge to cool.
To make a glass of passion ice tea:
1 cup of the passion ice tea
½ cup lemonade
2-3 teaspoons of simple syrup
If you want it frothy on the top like “they” make it, you can put ingredients into a martini shaker to mix everything, or not. The great thing about making this at home is you can mix the combination of ingredients to your liking!
Enjoy~
Passion tea is my favorite kind of tea!! I will have to try making it this way, too.
This looks yummy and great for a hot day! Thanks for sharing!
I love lemonade!!! This sounds like a really great summer treat!
This is my go-to drink when it’s past 3PM and I can’t get coffee anymore! I moved to rural TN and am now 60 miles away from Starbucks! I should try to make this on my own!
So simple and delicious! I love flavored lemonades but don’t make them myself nearly as often as I should.
This sounds so tasty and refreshing! I’m not a huge tea drinker, but I think adding the lemonade would help!
