Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
- 4 cups boiling water
- 2 bags of black tea
- 1 cup freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
- 1/4 cup honey (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional)
- Grapefruit slices for garnish
- Brew the black tea by steeping the tea bags in the boiling water for 5 minutes. The rich, earthy aroma will fill your kitchen.
- Remove the tea bags and stir in the honey until it dissolves completely. The sweet scent of honey blends beautifully with the tea.
- Add the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and vanilla extract to the tea, stirring well to combine. You’ll notice the invigorating citrus aroma balancing with the sweet vanilla.
- Let the tea cool to room temperature if you’d like to serve it cold. For a chilled version, pour the tea over ice cubes in each serving glass, giving you an extra refreshing sip.
- Garnish each glass with a slice of grapefruit for a beautiful presentation and an added burst of color and flavor.
- Replace honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for different sweetening options.
- Serve in a chilled glass for an extra refreshing touch, perfect for a summer day.
- For a fun twist, add a few fresh mint leaves to the tea for an additional layer of flavor.
- Refrigerate any leftover tea in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Enjoy it cold, or heat it up as desired.
- Substitute grapefruit juice with any other citrus juice like orange or lemon for a different but equally delightful flavor.
- Serve with light snacks such as scones or tea sandwiches.
- This tea pairs wonderfully with a simple, sweet dessert like shortbread cookies or a vanilla cake.
