Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons loose-leaf green tea or 2 tea bags (Sencha preferred)
- 4 cups (1 liter) filtered water
- 1 cup (240 ml) fresh passion fruit juice
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice (optional)
- 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) honey or agave syrup
- Ice cubes as needed
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Bring 4 cups (1 liter) of filtered water to a boil, then let it cool to about 175°F (80°C).
- Place green tea leaves or bags in a teapot or heatproof pitcher. Pour in the hot water and steep for 2 to 3 minutes until light green-gold in color.
- Remove tea bags or strain leaves. Pour tea into a clean pitcher and let cool to room temperature (about 15 minutes).
- Stir in 1 cup (240 ml) fresh passion fruit juice and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice.
- Add 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) honey or agave syrup and stir until dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.
- Chill the tea in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve over ice cubes and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Notes
Use water cooled to about 175°F to avoid bitterness. Steep green tea for only 2-3 minutes. Fresh passion fruit juice is preferred but high-quality juice or puree works well. Adjust sweetener gradually to taste. For quick chilling, pour over ice but note it may dilute flavor slightly.
