Total Time: 10 mins
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 3 teaspoons green tea
- 4 cups boiling water
- 2 passionfruits, pulp and juice scooped out
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1-2 tablespoons honey (optional)
- Ice cubes, to serve
- Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions:
- In a teapot, add green tea and pour over the boiling water. Allow it to steep for 3-4 minutes, or until the tea is richly aromatic and golden.
- While the tea is steeping, prepare the passionfruit pulp by scooping it out into a bowl. The tangy aroma of fresh passionfruit is truly irresistible!
- Chop the fresh mint leaves slightly to release their natural oils, enhancing the flavor of the tea.
- Once the tea has steeped, strain it into a large jug. Add the passionfruit pulp and mint leaves to the warm tea, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- If you prefer a hint of sweetness, stir in honey until completely dissolved.
- Let the tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly.
- When ready to serve, fill tall glasses with ice cubes, pour over the chilled tea, and garnish with fresh mint sprigs. Enjoy the harmony of tangy, sweet, and refreshing notes with every sip.
Helpful Tips and Variations:
- Replace honey with agave syrup for a vegan option.
- For a zestier twist, add a few slices of lime to the tea before chilling.
- Serve in a chilled glass for extra refreshment, ideal for hot summer days.
- For a garden party, add a splash of sparkling water just before serving for a fizzy delight.
Storage and Substitutions:
- Refrigerate the prepared tea for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
- If passionfruits are not in season, substitute with mango or pineapple juice.
- Use decaffeinated green tea for a caffeine-free version to enjoy any time of the day.
Pairings and Complements:
- The tropical notes of the tea pair wonderfully with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches, fruit salads, or a platter of cheese and crackers.
- For a sweet treat, enjoy with lemon bars or a light sponge cake.
