A refreshing tropical drink combining sweet pineapple, zesty lime, and earthy green tea, perfect for hot summer days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 green tea bags
  • 4 cups hot water
  • 2 cups pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 12 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • Handful of fresh mint leaves
  • Ice cubes
  • Pineapple slices (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil 4 cups (1 liter) of water in a tea kettle or pot. Remove from heat once boiling.
  2. Add 4 green tea bags to the hot water and steep for 3-5 minutes. For stronger tea, steep an extra minute or two.
  3. Remove tea bags and allow the tea to cool slightly for about 10-15 minutes.
  4. In a large pitcher, combine 2 cups (500 ml) of pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of freshly squeezed lime juice, and 1-2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup if desired. Stir until the honey dissolves completely.
  5. Add the cooled green tea to the pitcher and mix well.
  6. Add a handful of fresh mint leaves and gently muddle them with a spoon to release their flavor.
  7. Fill the pitcher with ice cubes to chill the drink completely. Stir once more to combine.
  8. Serve the Pineapple Breeze Green Tea in tall glasses garnished with pineapple slices and a sprig of mint.

Notes

[‘Donโ€™t over-steep the green tea to avoid bitterness.’, ‘Cool the tea before mixing with pineapple juice to preserve flavor.’, ‘Muddle mint leaves gently to avoid bitterness.’, ‘Adjust sweetness to taste, as pineapple juice is naturally sweet.’, ‘For extra flavor, freeze pineapple juice or lime juice in ice cube trays and use those instead of plain ice.’]
