Servings: 6 glasses
Course: Drinks
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups water for steeping the tea
  • 4 Tazo Passion tea bags or another passion tea
  • 1 can frozen lemonade concentrate 12 oz
  • 3 cups cold water for the lemonade
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup optional, leave out for unsweetened
  • ice cubes
  • 4 oz frozen blackberries optional, for a hibiscus refresher taste

Method
 

  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a tea kettle. Drop in the 4 passion tea bags and steep for 5-10 minutes, draping the tags out of the top so they are easy to remove.
  2. While the tea steeps, empty the can of frozen lemonade concentrate into a pitcher. Add 3 cups of cold water and stir until the concentrate dissolves. Stir in the simple syrup if you like it sweetened.
  3. Pour the steeped passion tea into the lemonade and stir gently but thoroughly to combine.
  4. To serve right away, fill the rest of the pitcher with ice and add the frozen blackberries. Otherwise chill in the fridge and add the ice and blackberries just before serving.

Notes

Works with any tea: try black tea, orange or peach. Makes about 6 glasses for roughly $8, about $1.30 a glass.
