Ingredients

• 2 cups pineapple juice
• 2 cups water
• 4 black tea bags
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
• Ice cubes
• Fresh pineapple slices (for garnish)
• Mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes, absorbing the deep, rich flavors of the tea leaves.
2. Remove the tea bags and stir in the honey, if using, until fully dissolved. The honey adds a subtle, natural sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the robust tea.
3. In a large pitcher, combine the brewed tea, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract. Stir well to mix these delightful flavors together.
4. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Pineapple Vanilla Tea over the ice, letting the cool beverage mingle with the clinking ice.
5. Garnish with fresh pineapple slices and mint leaves for a beautiful and aromatic finish. The fresh mint leaves will add a burst of refreshing scent and a pop of color.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If you prefer a sweeter drink, feel free to add more honey or use a light agave syrup as a substitute.
• Serve in a chilled glass for extra refreshment, or use frozen pineapple chunks instead of ice cubes for an extra burst of flavor.
• This recipe can be easily doubled for larger family gatherings or parties.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate any leftover Pineapple Vanilla Tea in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Give it a good stir before serving again.
• For a caffeine-free version, substitute black tea bags with herbal tea like chamomile or rooibos.
• If vanilla extract is unavailable, use vanilla bean paste for a more intense flavor profile.
