Ingredients:

• 4 cups of water
• 4 chamomile tea bags
• 1 cup of passionfruit juice (fresh or packaged)
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the chamomile tea bags.
2. Let the tea steep for about 5 minutes, allowing the gentle, floral notes to fully infuse the water.
3. Remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
4. In a pitcher, combine the cooled chamomile tea with passionfruit juice. Stir in honey if you like a bit of sweetness, adjusting to taste.
5. Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the passionfruit chamomile tea over the ice.
6. Garnish with fresh mint leaves to add an extra pop of color and refreshing aroma.

Helpful Tips and Variations:

• For a stronger flavor, let the chamomile tea steep longer.
• Substitute honey with agave syrup or your preferred sweetener.
• Serve in a chilled glass for an extra refreshing experience.
• Get creative with garnishes: try adding a slice of lemon or a few passionfruit seeds.

Storage and Substitutions:

• Refrigerate any leftover tea in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• For a seasonal twist, replace passionfruit juice with freshly squeezed orange juice.
• If passionfruit juice isn’t available, a blend of pineapple and mango juice can provide a similar tropical flavor.

Pairings and Complements:

• Enjoy this tea with light snacks such as cucumber sandwiches or fruit salads.
• It pairs wonderfully with desserts like lemon bars or coconut macaroons.
• For a savory option, try serving it with grilled chicken skewers or a fresh garden salad.
