Ingredients
Scale
- 2 green tea bags (or 2 teaspoons loose leaf green tea)
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (about 150 g)
- 4 cups filtered water (950 ml)
- 3–4 lemon slices (optional)
- A handful of fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Bring 4 cups (950 ml) of filtered water to a boil, then let it cool slightly for about 2 minutes until around 175°F (80°C).
- Place 2 green tea bags into a large pitcher or heatproof glass jar. Pour the hot water over the tea bags and steep for 3-4 minutes until the color turns a light golden green.
- Carefully remove the tea bags, gently squeezing them to extract flavor without over-extracting tannins.
- Stir in 1 cup (150 g) of fresh pineapple chunks along with lemon slices and mint leaves, if using.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight steeping is better).
- Serve chilled, with ice if desired. Optionally strain out pineapple and mint or leave them in for ongoing infusion.
Notes
Let water cool slightly before steeping green tea to avoid bitterness. Steep tea for 3-4 minutes only. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor. Fresh pineapple chunks provide natural sweetness without added sugar. Mint leaves are optional but add a fresh herbal note. Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 2 days. Avoid reheating.
