Passion Tea Lemonade

Step 1

Pour 1 cup of hot water (about 190°F or just below boiling) into a heat-safe pitcher or large mug.

Step 2

Place 2 passion fruit tea bags into the hot water and let them steep for 3 minutes, until the water turns a deep amber-orange color and smells strongly fruity.

Step 3

Remove the tea bags by lifting them out with a spoon and squeezing them gently against the side of the pitcher to release all liquid.

Step 4

Pour the hot brewed tea into a separate pitcher or bowl and set it in the freezer for 2 minutes, or run cold water over the outside of the vessel until it cools to room temperature.

Step 5

Pour the cooled tea into a large pitcher or drinking glass, then add 0.33 cup fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons honey.

Step 6

Stir with a long spoon for 20 seconds until the honey dissolves completely and no swirls of sweetener remain.

Step 7

Fill two tall glasses halfway with 1 cup total ice cubes, divided evenly between them.

Step 8

Pour the passion lemonade over the ice, dividing it equally between the two glasses, and serve immediately.
