Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 4 cups fresh pineapple juice
- 2 cups water
- 4 black tea bags
- 1/3 cup honey
- Ice cubes
- Fresh pineapple slices, for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
- Start by brewing the tea. Boil the water and add the tea bags. Let them steep for about 5 minutes, until the tea is strong and aromatic.
- Remove the tea bags and stir in the honey while the tea is still warm. This will help the honey to dissolve completely, adding a gentle sweetness to the brew.
- Allow the tea to cool to room temperature. You can speed up this process by placing it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- In a large pitcher, mix the freshly squeezed pineapple juice with the cooled honey tea. Stir well to combine the flavors.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the pineapple honey tea over the ice, letting the cool, crisp liquid flow through.
- Garnish with fresh pineapple slices and mint leaves for an added touch of elegance and flavor.
Helpful Tips and Variations:
- Substitute black tea with green tea for a lighter flavor and an added health kick.
- For an extra refreshing touch, serve the drink in chilled glasses.
- Make it a fizzy treat by topping each glass with a splash of sparkling water just before serving.
Storage and Substitutions:
- Store any leftover tea in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- If fresh pineapple juice is not available, canned or bottled pineapple juice can be a convenient substitute.
- For a sugar-free version, replace honey with a natural sweetener like stevia or agave syrup.
Pairings and Complements:
- Enjoy your Pineapple Honey Tea with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches, fruit salads, or buttery shortbread cookies.
- This drink also makes a perfect accompaniment to a summer BBQ or a family picnic.
